Atmosphere
The bottom does not become sand until the sandbar,before that it's thick black mud. For some reason when you exit the water your skin can't stop itching..it could be due to the sewer waste that drains out of the pipes into the water.
The locals don't have many teeth so they wont bite but the sharks might.

General
This is a fun longboard spot if the conditions are just right. They are best if a hurrican enters the bay after traveling off the Atlantic and has a steady east wind of 25 miles an hour
