About Banana Point
Banana Point is a mellow right-hand point near Aourir, in front of the banana plantations that gave it its name. When the swell is too big elsewhere, it often offers long, easy walls, perfect for improving surfers and longboarders.
Safety tips
Mind the rocks around the take-off, and avoid the water near the river mouth after heavy rain.
