Niijima - Secret
Edit SpotAbout
This a spot that locals love. The swell if often bigger then the other places. In case of a lack of waves, come here. It is a very beautiful and wild place. The surf is not as hollow as Habushiura but waves are longer. It can hold bigger swells.
Take water with you during the summer.

It is hard to find it as there is no road. You can walk on the beach from habushiura (very, very long). Or go to the south of the island. the difficulty is to find the path to go down the cliffs. Ask to locals.
