Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Tons of bodyboarders when school is out, nobody taking off at the peak though. |
| |
General |
Great spot if you have the time, money or Yacht to get there.
Incredibly beautiful, too, but...there are more sharks in these waters than I have ever seen ANYWHERE...granted, they are mostly white and black tips, mostly, but thick as fleas |
