not too crowded - only the beach itself is crowded, when you paddle out there will only be a few local kids

Chickahawk is sick - Yeah, I live about a mile away from Chickahawk acsess. When there is enough swell the waves get huge and break way out. It will sometimes be hollow and dumping and sometime crumbling and easy. All in all Chickahawk is a sick spot if you can get there.

truth about chicahauk access - i live on spindrift in chicahauk and go there every day the real deal is that the waves arent verry good only get to about head high glassy and breaking off shore on good days but usually its blown out with no sand bar and the waves are just breaking on shore and the beach is usually packed with tourists who walk across the duck road from their rental houses but once you get at there is usually just me and some other locals
