Arrieta
Edit SpotAbout
Better stuff on the island but can sometimes pay off. theres some good stuff up the coast from it so check it out on the way.
Atmosphere:
The locals are tame here unlike the rest of the island
Additional Info:
this place is ok if the other side of the islands not working, but its only a beginners break and is frequently flat. ive see it big and it tends to close out but once in a while you get it real good. sucky and fast and hollow. but dont hold your breath. its good for gettin wet and u can leave the chick on the beach without her moanin. tiny paddle out.
