a hidden gem on the Jurassic Coast of Devon. This picturesque shingle beach is tucked between massive white chalk cliffs.
For winging and windsurfing, it offers a more sheltered environment from certain wind directions compared to the wide-open beaches nearby. It is an atmospheric spot, often used by those who want a quieter, more scenic session. The local community is small, often consisting of sailors from the Beer Sailing Club. The advantage of Beer is the deep water and the spectacular scenery, though the shingle and the cliffs make it an "expert-only" spot in heavy weather. Ideal Conditions: SW, S, SE. Works well when there is a bit of East in the wind.
SW, S, SE (Deep water; SW is best coastal breeze)
15-22 knots for stable flight and small swell; 25 knots + for advanced wave riding with 3m or smaller wings.
