Watch out for rocks, check the beach at low tide. There is excellent surf most of the year. Very long, sandy beach. A few rocks, and some seaweed now and again. High tide unsuitable as for no launching space due to harbor wall and dunes. The beach curves. To the north N and S are sideshore, and to the south E and W are sideshore.
