About

It's the perfect beach for body boarders it is perfect for doing rollos and airs. Its a hard to grab wave when in a surf board,The locals are the only ones faliliar with the wave,ripping them apart,Its a fast wave in the short brake, when its big a wave apears in the back than conects with theleft on the short brake, making it a long wave. It's a great spot when it's big because there an outside appears. When it gets consistent and good there is a lot of algae in the water.

Atmosphere:
It's the perfect spot to have fun invite a friend there are also little paths beyond the bushes which are very interesting. I do not suggest using a lycra if you hate sand. Try not to wear a trunk with pockets without drain or they will fill with sand.

Additional Info:
It is a bit tricky parking the car.Try to park it at grass side at the other side it is hard (if you don't have a 4x4. You have to climb down a little cliff (be careful) or walk a little flat grass path(wear something on your feet)
