About

Fun. best small reef in area. Many options, from hollow barrels, to long peelers.

Atmosphere:
Great atmosphere. Plenty of women. Most locals friendly, just dont get in way.

Additional Info:
Mainly a bodyboarders wave. takoff is crucial when swell is bigger. Can be really fun and makable at 2 to 3 ft. Two reefs, one on either side. South side reef is wedgey and more hollow and dangerous suited to lidders only. The point on big days can give rides across the whole beach.
