03 · Location

In context.

A small rocky cove on the wild Atlantic coast, sheltered by rock formations with sand pockets between reef sections. An exposed reef break with left and right-hand waves, used by surfers, kitesurfers and wing-foilers; rocks, some mussel-covered, can emerge mid-ride. High tide suits surfing, when the reef is covered; low tide suits kite launching. Dogs banned 10:00-20:00, mid-April to September. SNSM lifeguards cover July-August, 13:45-19:00.
