Description

This place is either epic or mush, typhoon season gets huge, but there is usally something to surf even on the smaller days, gets crowded though not overly agro, plenty of drop-ins. The next beach a short walk away Gamou, gets just as good, it's a rivermouth so seems to get a bit more hollow, but always half the crowd down there.
