Anse Bourgainville
Edit SpotAbout
Great surf spot with lovely warm water
Atmosphere:
Ridable about 50 days per year, only really gets good a few days per year. (I don't know who put the surf spot description but it is inaccurate)
Additional Info:
Relatively short ride, but its consistency makes up for the short ride. One the most consistent reef breaks on Mahe Island. Police Bay is just south.
