Description

The premier beach for surfers on the east side of the island, this is an ideal place to either ride the waves or watch others surf. The waves here are consistently powerful, as the beach faces the open ocean, but in the winter the surf is particularly high. The beach has restroom and shower facilities, but they are sometimes closed or out of order due to vandalism. The beach is popular with sunbathers but is generally not recommended for swimming because of the strong currents and powerful waves. However, at the north end of the beach, where a small stream hits the ocean, there is a calmer pool which is suitable for swimmers and waders.
