Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Once you get to the island you have to search for where the waves are breaking the best, depending on swell and wind direction and the current banks that have formed. I would only recommend this spot on clean swells, otherwise the boat trip out there and the hassle isn't worth it.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The best part about this spot is the surroundings that you get to surf in. It is really tropical looking and it is also nice to travel to a surf spot by boat. This spot is also good because almost no one surfs it and you can have it all to yourself. It is definantly a soul surfing spot. |
| |
General |
I like this spot because I am from Tarpon Springs and am one of only people to ever surf it. |

Waves weren't standing well for the shortboard, so we rode the bodyboards. Very strong tide.
