SURFERS BEACH:
The most widely known surf break in the Bahamas. Surfers Beach is located
2 1/2 miles south of Gregory Town. This surf break was discovered in the
early 1950’s by Dudly Whittman the first surfer to explore the Bahama
Islands in search of waves. He named his surf break
"Twin Silos" after the path he and his bother hacked
through the bush starting at the silos of
the Hatchet Bay Plantation. Surfers Beach is a big left break with swells
coming out of the blue ocean and breaking on a deep-water reef. The wave
can best be compared as a large, slow moving wave on the outside and a
cranking hollow wave on the inside. Surfers
Beach has rights too, but they are
tricky because they break over a shallow inside
reef affectionately called Bone Yards. |
