Back lagoon & sandbars (MJ's Sandbar area)

Waist-deep flat water on sandbars in the lagoon west of the island, reached by boat. The wind is less clean here because it crosses the island first, but there is little boat traffic. You need your own boat support, since there are no facilities.

Remote spot: not recommended for beginners or intermediates.Help is far away if something goes wrong. Only ride here if you're experienced and self-sufficient: go with a buddy, arrange boat support, and tell someone your plan.
