Laguna Creek
Edit SpotAbout
Good spot. Not always a winner, but always worth the check. Sometimes is firing and nobody out due to walk and lack of ability to see from the hwy.
Atmosphere:
Great view! As you look at the surf you'll see a small lagoon on your left. This lagoon feeds out to the ocean via a small creek. There is a great point-like left on the south end of the beach off a small rocky shelf. Nudists frequent this beach.
Additional Info:
Hoolow beach-break. Be aware of the backwash at high tide.
