The eastward-facing beach receives consistent autumn and winter swell from Pacific storms, with the sand bottom providing soft, forgiving conditions ideal for beginners. This remote, undercrowded gem delivers reliable waist-to-shoulder-high waves in a stunning natural setting dotted with sea stacks and tide pools.
