La Playita
Edit SpotAbout
It`s a great beach but only if you are experienced.
Atmosphere:
Use booties and bring a camera because from the mirador you can take awesome pictures.
Additional Info:
It is advised only to surf it with a low or medium tide because when the tide is too high, the waves will crash with the cliff creating more waves that will make surf very difficult. Be careful when entering the water.
Location
Loading...Access
La Playita or Cabo Negro is located 121 kms south of Lima. You can get there if you go in the Panamerica Sur. It is beside Puerto Fiel. The wave is a left and is very hollow with nice tubes. The entrance to the water may be very dangerous because you have to descend some cliffs to reach the shore.
it`s located in Puerto Fiel beach (you can also surf there). Km-121.1/2 you have to walk after parking your car for about 10 min. the access is difficult so I suggest to ask for direction. If you wanna see the wave you can see it from the mirador (ask locals for direction).
