Cannibal Bay
Cannibal Bay is a beach break on a sandy beach. There are several peaks down the beach to choose from, with both right and left handers. The wave has awesome power and will get nice hollow barrels when off shore. Good for surfers of all levels. Wrap up as the water gets cold down this part of the country.
