Tanoura Beach is the landmark. It is a shallow beach break that is best on northwest swell and is sensitive to swell.
Check it out because it sometimes breaks even in weak onshore conditions. Local surfers often check the waves from here.

The tetra on the outside is covered with sand and breaks even in windy waves, but it is prone to currents, so beginners need to be careful.
