Tortuga - Andora (Liguria)
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is good in the week when is uncrowded and the waves are glassy about 5-6 feet (sometimes).In the last years became ultra-crowded and the atmosphere is bad!
Atmosphere:
oo much longboarders in the water. Too much holiday-surfers in the water.
There are a lot of nice place where you can stand and sleep in your car. The peoples are very friendly. No party spot.
This spot is full of beginners and longborders, expecially when is small or flat!!30-40 in the water usually.They create confusion and have not respect for the others.When swell is good, they stay in the water without take one wave!
Additional Info:
No park near the restaurant!
You can park your car directly in front of the beach.
You cannot park in the area in front of the restaurant, but is better on the near principal road (Aurelia).
