The spot is located near Perranuthnoe, Prussia Cove, Newlyn Harbour wall, Mousehole Reef, and Praa Sands. To reach Marazion Pointers, one should drive near the Marazion area and look to the left of the Castle of St Michael’s Mount. Parking options may be available nearby, but specific details are not provided. The spot is named ‘Pointers’ due to walkers pointing at it from the cliff, which inspired the name. When surfing here, it is crucial to assess your skill level against the difficulty of the waves before entering the water, and to respect the locals. Checking surf etiquette is also important, especially when surfing crowded spots. The surf is best when the swell and wind are working in harmony, and it is recommended to use appropriate surfboards for the conditions. Soft boards and shortboards are generally suitable for this type of surf. Lastly, always remember to respect the locals.
