Pickop's Point
Edit SpotAbout
Named for the Pickop boys who are all in their fifties, now.
Atmosphere:
When the Bay is totally flat this is where to go if you are nearby and need to surf. Won't hold any size but the water is cool. High tide is very interesting, as the tiny cliff is a few feet away.
Additional Info:
Quick right just in front of a three foot high lava outcrop going into a tiny bay.
Nice ride scooting in front of the shore but you must kick out fast.
