Easy to get to from Highway 200 (Pacific Coast Highway). About 40 km north of Lazaro Cardenas. Cross bridge reading "Playa Las Peņas." After first speed bump, make right at the grocery store (the one intersection in town) and follow the short road down to the parking area to the beach.
Best in the rainy season (May-Sept). There are a few young kids that surf it but that's about it. The people in town are extremely cool. There are a bunch of good seafood restaurants right on the beach.
Parking is easy and safe.
The waves are best in the mid-late afternoon but the spot can change every few minutes with the winds, with lefts AND rights.
only barrel you'll see the barrel of a gun held by a bandito. thats who hangs out in and around this area. don't be a fool. stay on the beaten pass. jesus, its still michoacan, mexico. what the hell are you people thinking.

mucha viento
hit this place early as the wind picks up and it turns to slop fast. typical mainland beachbreak, a long ride is maybe 50 yards. beautiful area.
