Its name being a shortened version of “Wind-and-Sea”, this beach can be quite rough in the winter, experiencing intense storms that remove a lot of its sand; but it is the ideal surfing spot during the summer. It mostly appeals to experts, as its strong currents and underwater rocks add an extra level of difficulty. On one end of the beach, there’s a surf shack with a palm roof that offers much-needed shade before you get back up on the board.
