Additional Information
Don't go here unless its the middle of the summer and waverly is too crowded. This beach is weak.
Atmosphere
Lots of kooks surf here so watch drop-ins etc. Only people who really surf good here are the 10-20 6th graders-Highschoolers who come everyday in the summer. It can get fun on the most random days.
General
It's an easy and uncrowded spot to get to in Ocean City.

no title - "That dude by anonymous4 May 2005 - 00:12' people(little kids, ugly fat moms/dads, kayakers, Those always ripping Posers w/ only the best boards,wetsuits, etc) getting in your way, without hesitation.'"What ever happened to surfing being a friendly sport where you can paddle out and make friends with the other people out there without having to bust on everything they do. It's just annoying hearing things that just dont matter when your out there. Surfing is a recreation sport which means your supposed to have fun. Ive been reading the reviews and have seen so many people giving other people ON THE SITE shit about stuff.

beat - first off, everyone knows this place is a weak wave to begin with, no top to bottom bombs, outside crumbly garbage...and now that the sand has all washed away, it doesnt even break, even with a solid swell, go somewhere else, like sea isle or AC

- I actually love the south side of the pier when the lifeguards are on duty. Or the north side when they are not. Also i dont really care about how big the waves or how clean the break is. If they suck just take a longboard out. This spot is just chill. The people are chill there, you can honestly paddle out and talk to anyone out there. And you dont have to deal with a crowd like on 7th street where its a bunch of people just trying to prove themselves. Surfing is supposed to be laid back and fun! Not a bunch of guys out there hot dogging it...a wave isn't meant to be "shred"apart but to be ridden. A surfer is meant to go with the wave!
