Benny’s is an outer reef left reached by a short paddle. When there’s enough swell, it delivers long, powerful rides and can handle solid size. It works best from head-high and up, otherwise it breaks into sections. The reef is shallow and sharp, especially at low tide, so it’s best for confident intermediates and above. On smaller days, the inside softens and can be fun for improvers and longboarders.
