Wild Dunes Surf Guide
Essentially this is one wide, flat, long beach. It breaks on pretty much any swell and can get pretty juicy on a hurricane with long, tough paddles out. At the very north end of the island, in the Wild Dunes resort, is a spot called Charlie's. It's a sandspit peak that breaks well on solid NE/E windswells.
