This lagoon formed by the reef at low tide offers flatter, more sheltered water conditions than the main beach. The spot works with northeast and south winds. The lagoon offers calmer conditions than Long Reef Beach, ideal for intermediate riders. Note: the lagoon is only accessible at certain tides. Check tide conditions before heading there.
