The bodysurfing proving ground under the lighthouse cliffs.

Our take

The island's best bodysurfing, and it earns that the hard way... pros-only shorebreak when the swell runs. Sea cliffs frame the sand, lifeguards and showers cover the basics, and whales pass close from December through May. Everyone else swims on flat summer days, after a word with the tower.
