Area Specialist
The area is a famous surfing destination, with the main season for wave variety lasting from April to October: May to August sees fewer different waves but is prime time for Occy’s Left, the famous break which first attracted visitors here. Diving is best from March to May and late September to mid- November, when the swells are lower. There are sites suited to both beginners and experienced divers.
