Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Silver Sands is a combination reef/beach break, with the outer peak breaking over a coral reef, and the inside shorebreak over a fairly shallow sandbar mixed with loose rocks. The right is the way to go, peaking up nicely on the outside with the chance for a tube ride, backing off a bit, then jacking up on the inside shorebreak for a closeout. There are occasional lefts, but these usually close out, and leave you on the inside for the set. Paddle out on the beach, its not that bad. Watch out for idiot windsurfers who can clog up the area, especially during the high season for windsurfing.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Fun spot to surf. Watch out for the locals, they can be very possesive, not violent tho. But they WILL drop on you repeatedly. Give respect, and get some too. |
| |
General |
Good spot when the rest of the south/west coast is flat, and soup bowl is blown out. |
