Additional Information

Cottons can be fun on a big south swell.

Atmosphere

Cottons is really fun. If you are a long boarder and go to Trestles with a short boarder just paddle north to the point. It's a small point break in front of President Nixon's old house. The crowd is pretty mellow, but on a good day there is a lot of people.

General

Really fun.
