Additional Surfing Infos
 Classic Beach break.
  Overview
  Atmosphere People don t go much surf at this beach they prefer Guibia ,even if Chinchorro is better. I don t know really why ,but at least you are sure too find some hollow tubes along a mile long beach.
It has breaks up and down the whole beach so you can find an uncrowded spot, but the best waves are at the other side of the beach ,so when you arrive ,turn right for me it s one of the best waves ,some days it s reminds me of puerto Escondido.

There is an unmention hazard... LOCALS
To go to this beach you have to pass by through a small roughly-settled neighborhood plagued with poverty and vandals. If you go with a considerable group of people and by vehicle your possessions won`t be stolen and you won`t have to worry about hostile youngsters. Unfortunately - me and my two friends had to experience it.

Not consistent
It can be a good spot when its on, but the sand bar changes to often and you get lots of closeouts. Great for spongers. Bring an extra board, try not to open your mouth cause its very polluted
