Which area to book

  • The point — The wave, the hotels, the sunset crowd. Where you will be.
  • The village — Up the hill. Where people live. Cheaper food, real prices.
  • Las Flores end — Quiet, rocky, good at low tide. Fifteen minutes on foot.
  • The highway — Buses and the tienda. Five minutes up from the beach.

When to come

March to May for the cleanest swell. December is busy and beautiful.
