Discription of surf spot: Aoshima, Japan
quite a long beach i guess you could call the main or town beach - can get quite crowded in summer, best to go low season, outside of holidays. just after a typhoon there was lots of stuff, floating logs, rubbish in the water etc. Swell wraps around an island connected by a sand spit/bridge to the mainland. watch out in future for potential waves with the building of an artificial reef 300 m off the beach
