Open beach break south of the last groynes, next to the campsite, with peaks both ways and a lighter crowd than the town front. Small days are gentle enough for learners; when it gets big the paddle-out is hard and the rips are shifty. Works best mid to high tide, SW to NW swell and an offshore wind from the north-east.
