Visitor reviews of Punta Medanos surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“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.”
