About this spot

Coconut Bay Beach Resort's Surf Shack page describes calm, shallow lagoon water for beginners at Anse de Sables, with side-onshore trades that do not pull riders out to sea, and a clean line of waves roughly 300–450 m from shore for advanced riders in 20–25 knots.

That page is about a decade old and written for resort guests, so check that lessons and rental still run and whether non-guests can use them before travelling. The bay is close to Hewanorra (UVF) international airport.
