Overview
South Beach Pavilion, known simply as The Pavilion, is a sand-bottomed beach break that serves up hollow lefts and rights.
When It Works
The Pavilion draws swell from east through southeast (E-SE), with southeast (SE) the best match. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft and is moderately consistent, so there are worthwhile windows when the swell lines up. Hollow peaks break up and down the beach, giving you room to spread out and find your own wave.
Wind and Tide
Look for west (W) offshore wind to clean it up. It can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
It's an approachable, beginner-friendly wave, but expect a busy lineup when it's working. Keep an eye out for a few rocks in the lineup. Better lefts turn on up the beach at reefs like Red Reef Park and Jap Rock, though those need overhead northeast swells to show their quality.
Access
You'll find restrooms and showers here, along with a car park that offers free parking, plus some metered parking nearby.
