This spot is great for those looking for good waves, and best of all, it's free to enter for the public!

This location is great for surfing, but not suitable for families and children due to its easy accessibility.

That place is spotless - a mix of stones and sand with great surfing opportunities. It's also very accessible by car, and not overly commercialized.

That place has potential to be great, but it could use some improvements in terms of cleanliness, accessibility, and parking. Despite this, it's a great spot for surfing with good waves, and at low tide it's easy to access and a pleasure to stroll along the sand.
