Water
Type:
- Shallow
- Flat
- Chop
Hazards:
- Ships/Boats
- Reefs
- Corals

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

Location crowds:
- None


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.
