Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Look out for the armed HUMVEES full of Marines, they'll steal your camera if they catch you taking pictures in the direction of the "top secret" prison camp on the bluff overlooking the beach... even if its digital and you can delete the pictures. The edges get shallow (less than 1ft) by the rocks.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
When ther is no break, GTMO has a small skatepark and is full of sweet hills for bombing on a long board, just watch out for iguanas, banana rats and MP's. There is NO NIGHTLIFE HERE!! |
| |
General |
When you get into the water line yourself up with the life guard chair and the light pole facing the water. Its a good spot when it breaks, plus, there is nothing else to do in GTMO. Well if you like humvees with machine guns riding by you all the time and navy boats guarding the coast then this is the spot for you. If you have been underway allot then hit up this spot it will put a huge smile on your face |
