About this spot
Near the Cap d'Antibes, this wave beside a broken tower can give you one of the longest lefts in the area, even in shallow water. A right will also delight you, though much shorter. A well-known wave, so it's inevitably crowded, but the vibe is pretty chill. Works in small surf on a longboard — ideal for beginners.
