Edit SpotAbout
There two main zones. The first zone is the beach break. A lot of right and left waves are breaking no better than what you can find elsewhere. The second zone is better: it's the left along the rocks on the left side of the beach. It doesn't work often. But, when it's on, the left is tubular and very powerful. It's a underated semi-secret spot.

It's the next beach after "Pors Pouhlan" towards Audierne. Do not take the main road but the little coast road.
