Collignon
Edit SpotAbout
When it works, hot locals on the peak... but perfect waves!
Additional Info:
There two main peaks.One along the jetty as you can see on the photo. And the second one is one hundred meters on the rigth. It tubes and the wave is really fun. This wave works even less than "l'Anse du Brick". Check it as soon as there is a big swell.
