Tamarin Bay
Edit SpotAbout
There is a hard localism.
Foreigners are not allowed by the "white shorts". the backdrop is volcanic and the bay is incredibly pretty. it works rarely but when its on - no wave in the world is close.
Additional Info:
The reef break to the south is for more experienced surfers and deserves a spot-sheet to itself!watch out for the whiteshorts (locals)!
on its day there is not a drop of water out of place and all you have to do is take off and wait, you'll get covered and then let out 100m down without twitching a muscle.
