Pennan Bay is a small cove located just below the village, known for its two decent peaks over a mix of sandy and rocky bottom. It works well with swells coming from the north, northwest, and east, making it a versatile spot depending on conditions. While the waves can be fun, it's worth noting that some days might not live up to expectations, and the entry and exit can be a bit tricky.

The surf here can handle sizes starting from around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). You'll find beach breaks that roll in with both left and right waves. When the tide is low, you might notice the waves being a bit sucky, so mid and high tides can also be good options to consider. For the best results, a south wind generally works in your favor, providing decent conditions on those surf days.

Getting to the water is a bit of a challenge, but if you park by the harbour, it gives you a nice paddle-out channel when the swells are bigger. Just be prepared for some work getting in and out. Overall, it's a spot that can cater to different skill levels, but keep an eye on the conditions before heading out.
