    Jose L Souto from Venezuela
    “Buenas playa, de fácil acceso. olas consistentes casi todo el año, aunque no de gran tamaño. exceptuando temporadas de swells o huracanes.
    suele haber mas gente los fines de semanas.
    si tienes suerte puedes observar tortugas marinas nadando en la playa.
    se pueden correr olas de izquierda y derecha.”
