TRECCO BAY
Trecco Bay is a fairly small bay and is more suitable for intermediate and experienced sailors as a slight rip tide can sweep an unsuspecting onto the rocks at the S end of the beach. The sandy beach is slightly sloping and is also quite tidal so the best times for sailing are either side of high tide. At these times, W winds provide excellent conditions for jumping.
