Caswell Bay

Edit spot

About

Sloppy break but ideal for beginners and considering the other local beach spot is Langland, Caswell is the better choice for learners. Can be sheltered at hightide from south westerly winds. Left and rights on the beach and a left off the west end of the bay.

Atmosphere:
It's quiet a relaxed place and people are often chatty and open in the water.

Additional Info:
Do not park in the Redcliffe Flats, the residents do not like surfers and your car will be clamped and it'll cost you £50 to get it unclamped.
