If you want to surf, the area including Little Apple Bay and Capoon's Bay is the spot -- although the white, sandy beach itself is narrow. Sebastian's, a very casual hotel, caters to those in search of the perfect wave. The legendary Bomba's Surfside Shack -- a landmark festooned with all manner of flotsam and jetsam -- serves drinks and casual food. Otherwise, there's nothing else in the way of amenities. Good waves are never a sure thing, but you're more apt to find them in January and February. If you're swimming and the waves are up, take care not to get dashed on the rocks.
