Big rocks at the south end of the beach - stay away. During the Northeast monsoon (December to March), which is really the only time when you can windsurf or kitesurf at this location, there will be fairly big waves (by Malaysia standards) breaking about 100 meters from shore. Expect a lot of whitewash.
