Fairy Meadow
Edit SpotAbout
nice day trip to the beach, less crowded than right in town.
Atmosphere:
chill vibe, couple of locals who will give you the drop but it's never got more than like five locals, mostly it's college international transfer students from the uni dorms like 200 yards away. even with them includer there's never more than ten people in the water. just south is pucky's a sand on rock setup that gets absolutely sick, take a walk south and look for a river mouth!!! more crowded
Additional Info:
place is a mellow group of sand bars that form and washout just like any other setup, they can get good and on a low tide with a good bar can get sick and hollow. this place is beautiful at dawn with the moutains in the background, lighthouse down the beach it's a wonder place
