Bretteville
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is pretty unknown. It's not the main beach where you can score some crappy wave. I am talking of the left near the rocks. It doesn't work often but it's a beautiful one... Check also the submerged reef on the right. I didn't surf it but I have seen one time a perfect wave on it.
