Flamingo Point
Edit SpotAbout
It's a fun infrequent lava point break with plenty of tropical fish to keep you entertained between sets.
Atmosphere:
A very finicky pt break with a small window of reception. It takes 170 to 200 S and surprisingly breaks after the swell has passed the stand-out spots. If your staying close by it's worth the short walk from the hotel for a serandipidous adventure.
