About This Spot
Tucked in behind Duxbury Reef, Bolinas offers soft rolling waves at the mouth of a lagoon – perfect for beginners and longboarders. The sandbars shift but there's usually a mellow left breaking off the jetty and a right across the channel.
Local Etiquette
Be respectful of the tight-knit community; stay off private property and don't litter.
