    Editor’s Comments

    This beach normally has no waves or small waves which make it very popular among beginner surfers and families. But when an east swell is on and south wind blows, you can get up to one meter wave of fun and barrels. Infrastructure here is very good.

    The rocky coast offers god snorkeling spots.
