About This Spot
A sheltered, palm-lined point that offers a slow, mushy right-hander over sand and cobblestones – perfect for beginners and longboarders. It needs a decent west swell to wrap into the cove and works at most tides.
Local Etiquette
Share the mellow vibe and yield to beginners; no dropping in on long rides.
