Popotla surf
Love the talk of Popotla.Brings back memories. Used to go from the mid 70's to the 90's. Our place was #13B. Loved surfing the north beach (the Barge) when there was sand all the way to the Big rock at low tide. I remember when the fishing village on the north beach was really small. Lots of fun on the north beach until '83 when all the sand got sucked out. The barge still broke but the section did not connect to the inside as well. The other break in the middle of the bay did not break as well after that. I remember huge crowds, volleyball, surfing and no campsites! The pier used to really be there on the south beach complete with lights and railings. The south beach was ok back then (fickle break) but became way more popular after the '83 storm. The bar/restauraunt was always hopping then with live band/dancing. The sunken fire pit in the restaurant was fun. The pool was always crappy. The basketball/ shuffle courts were actually decent. Great time at night walking to the bar or around the park with a beer and friends. Rosarito Beach Hotel or Calafia were the only things to do at night outside the park. Surfed there with cousins Rich, Dan, brother Erich and many friends. Good times!

it's tyte to hear all you guys talking about popotla on this thing, i learned to surf there when i was little and have spent every summer there since, i'm from cali but moved to washington when i was 12 and since then popotla became my like gateway back to surfing. The place is not what it used to be i'll give you that, but it's still a good place to surf especially in the winter cause now days the summer can dissapoint, the people in the park arn't bad either, they are just a lil up, i miss livin there like crazy. any questions email me at dtc6@comcast.net
