Wied Buni is the corner of Pretty Bay beside the sailing club, where the shore is rock and concrete rather than sand. Most of the people in the water here keep a boat nearby or have been swimming from this spot their whole lives.

It is enclosed by the bay around it, so the water stays flat in almost any weather. Nothing is laid on. The sand at Pretty Bay, with its toilets and kiosks, is a few minutes round the shore.

Which winds this bay can take

It is sheltered from the east-north-east round to the north-north-west. There is no open water on those bearings for a wind to build a swell across. A wind out of the north round to the north-east has some water to work with but not the full run.
