Islita

About

Great spot for beginners that are looking to improve your surf skill

Atmosphere:
This is a perfect place if you look for a relax beach with none to few surfers. Not all the peaple know abour this beach. It is special for beginners surfers. JUST watch out for Big waves that form when it reaches the high tide. It is not common but happens

Additional Info:
The beach is very short. Now when you enter in the water you will see some kind of stick that rise over the water. It means tha from this stick to the east of the beach there are rocks under the water, do not take waves in this part. Some pros can take it but they ussually take it in high tide.
