About

Mizata is a great,consistent, uncrowded wave, safe and very quiet. It is well worth your time and effort to surf it and stay there.

Atmosphere:
Mizata is a hidden jewel of the surf spots in El Salvador. It has a surfable wave close to 330 days a year. It is a safe spot with friendly local surfers. It doesn't get much more uncrowded anywhere. Mizata Point Resort is a super place to stay and have first shot at the wave each morning. It is a great place to bring your wife or Gf as it has all the amenities of home.

Additional Info:
You can park your car at Mizata Point Resort, shower and access the beach if you eat at the resturant after surfing. The Point takes a little time to figure out the wave but once you do it is well worth it.
