Ingonish Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Fun spot to hang out or learn to surf, if the swells not firing too much. Anything huge 6 ft + will mke for a tough paddle and a wave that jacks up quick.
Atmosphere:
Very nice, scenic, beautiful, miles long sandy beach. From late June to late September has a very tropical feel to it. Water temps in the fall will easily reach low-mid twenties C.
Additional Info:
Typical beach break, that will close out on larger swells. Because of location, doesn't break all that often, but after a Nor' Easter or Hurricane will sure to be working.
