Maceda
Edit SpotAbout
It's a good spot that works with little swell is hard to find and it's dangerous to go alone because there some robbery problems that i have experienced there.
Additional Info:
This beach is good in the summer when the sea is small. When all beachs are flat check this beach and and you might be lucky. I advise to go with friends because the beach is in the middle of nowhere.
