A very long sandy beach with a lot of peaks offering lefts and rights. The long white water waves are a ideal playground for the first surfing steps. It is not even necessary to paddle or swim out, making it an ideal location to start surfing at. The spot works on a westerly swell and is offshore in an east wind. Best surfed at medium tide.
