More about Cotterelle Beach surfspot
This peaky beachbreak over sand and cobbles is one of the most consistent spots in the Jacmel area, likely to even have a rideable wave (under 5 seconds period) in the November to March NE season (when surfers should head for the north coast). The short lefts and longer rights wedge up on takeoff, peel for a short ride, then meet a shorebreak closeout that can break boards on a bigger day. There are at least three peaks to choose from.
Park in front of the beach, leaving plenty of space for local tap tap buses and other traffic to pass through the narrow coast road.
The narrow coast road is hemmed in by steep hillsides. Catch the morning glass and avoid the afternoon onshores.
