Large expanse of shallow water. This spot is excellent for learning. You need to avoid tides over 1.8m if you are beginner to intermediate as it is too deep and choppy to get away from the beach. Small launch when tide is in but lotts of room when sand banks are exposed. This beach works from N to S as long as there is no West in the wind.
Beware small cluster of rocks about 250m North of launch.
