Additional Information
There are four spots in this lil horse shoe bay. Chickens is a rocky beachbreak, for those scared to venture out to the reefs. Seconds is out to the left. Firsts is to the right and has a longer left...the right starts off nice and gets fat as it dies in the rivermouth. Easy paddle out (dry hair usually). Further to the right is a rocky ledge called waterfalls as there are some lil waterfalls of the cliff...it is for experts only and is a left close to rocks.
This is a super spot to surf and when the swell is in its a MUST. Canadian surfers especially at this spot are very friendly and offer you free coffee and fried chicken. Everyone should experience this wonderfull place.

Small correction.. - Hey guys,
Just letting you know that Firsts is NOT to the right when facing the water from the beach. Firsts is the break to the left, Chickens is in the center (you got that right) and Seconds is to the right. Much further right you have Waterfalls.
Thanks
