El chinchorro
Edit SpotAbout
People don t go much surf at this beach they prefer Guibia ,even if Chinchorro is better. I don t know really why ,but at least you are sure too find some hollow tubes along a mile long beach.
It has breaks up and down the whole beach so you can find an uncrowded spot, but the best waves are at the other side of the beach ,so when you arrive ,turn right for me it s one of the best waves ,some days it s reminds me of puerto Escondido.
Additional Info:
Classic Beach break.
