Pebble and rock beach. Medium size grassy area for launch and landing. Not for beginners. Trees, power-lines and busy road are along the shoreline where you would land/drift in during typical SW winds. Not a problem for experienced riders, but caution should still be used. Launch off the PUC dock/grass area to avoid windsurfers downwind at the actual `beach`.
