“Es el spot piola mas cercano que tengo, antes que ir al muelle de Mar de Ajo donde hay una horda de pseudo-surfistas matandose por una olita y haciendose los PRO-Locals territoriales, me voy al faro y ahi paso el dia tranquilo de playa y surf.
Copado del lugar, bajas con la camioneta y te vas a surfear, podes dejar la chata abierta que no te roban.”
