Ponta negra
Edit SpotAbout
it's a good spot for beginners. if you are in mood for some bigger waves, i can recommand Tabatinga og a surf-trip to Pipa. not far away.
Atmosphere:
nice atmosphere. the people is great, and there is no lineup system, just find a good spot in the water, and surf all day. i've lived here for three months now, and i love it.
Additional Info:
its a great place for beginners. can be boring for surfers with expiriance from lots of other good surfspots. waves close fast, so its good training anyway.
