Visitor Reviews of Tamarin Bay


Rusty Bresser from UNITED STATES writes:

Surfed Tamarin Bay in July and August of 1973. We got a moderate swell the first few days I was there....very uncrowded in those days. We stayed for 5 weeks in a house we rented with several Aussies right on the point in front of the reef. Great memories. Anyone there that summer?
