Visitor Reviews of Playa Negra


Siamak Hefazi from UNITED STATES writes:

Playa Negra is a really fun Right point! Be careful not to let the current pull you too far over to the left, you'll get caught inside before you know it... great channel for paddling out makes it easy to manage when it gets big. Don't get caught inside the break will push you into sharp rocks.
