The Beacon, also known as Boulders, is a surf spot located near a lighthouse. It’s a small swell area that works best with some specific conditions. The waves here peel to the right over a rock ledge, creating a decent spot for surfers looking for a relaxed session. It’s generally a good place for beginners and longboarders looking to enjoy the waves, especially when the conditions are right. The vibe is pretty chill, making it a great spot to catch some sun and surf.

This spot handles swell sizes around 2ft (0.6m) and is optimal when the swell is coming from the SouthEast. You can also catch waves when the swell is from the East or SouthWest. The waves are mostly reef breaks, which can offer some nice right-handers. You'll find that it works well during low, mid, or high tide, but it’s often better at high tide, as this helps eliminate some of the rocky spots that can be tricky for paddling out. While there are some lefts available when the swell is more easterly, right-hand waves dominate here.

The preferred wind direction for The Beacon is from the SouthWest, making it a bit more enjoyable when the breeze is blowing just right. It’s a spot that’s pretty friendly for beginners, but once the waves get overhead, the conditions can become challenging with a difficult paddle-out and drift. So, if you’re just starting out or riding a longboard, you’ll want to keep an eye on the size of the swell.
