Quality:
Crystal clear
Best Tide:
High tide

Very big lagoon (several km). The lagoon is very beautiful with very clear water and a bit choppy because of its size. Not really a spot where you will be able to ride the waves as the wind is sideonshore and there is a ripping current in the passes.

Beach

Type:
Rocks
Size:
Small
Hazards:
Rocks, Trees, Concrete
Beach Users:
No information

The public beach is for general access, but this unfortunately is fairly rocky and you will have to be a top rider to enter the water safely. Careful for the general prevailing wind is of sideonshore nature, and quite a few kiters have had trouble at the launch.
