Hit or miss spot mostly surfed by locals who never really go anywhere else. Can get excellent when sandbars appear and certain s/sw swells roll in. Rarely good overhead...but once in a while. Just go to the pier or harbor. DistanceIn the city WalkInstant access (< 5min) Easy to find?OK Public access?Public access Special access |

Like anywhere, respect goes a long way. Hide stuff in car, don't let the beachfront mansions fool you. Head 1/4mi north for killer post surf grinds at Buccaneer beach.
