Cottons
Edit SpotAbout
Really fun.
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.
Additional Info:
Cottons can be fun on a big south swell.
