Known for ruins of 14th Century Spanish Armada ship still mostly buried at the far end of the strand. Visible at very low tide. Tides: Mid to high Size: Waist to head high, any bigger it closes out. Wind: S -SW Swell: W- NW Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Close to the beach. Spot Rating: Consistent in the winter, though usually not the best shaped sandbars. Good staple spot when the wind is SW. Access: Park in lot then walk over dunes via access trail. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Becoming more popular but large beach with peaks all the way down. Local Vibe: Mellow crowd. Plenty of room here. Environment: Some agricultural runoff at the far end of the strand by the river. But generally very good. Hazards: Rips as it gets bigger. Season: Autumn, Winter and Spring are best as it needs a good swell to break.
