Piedras negras
Edit SpotAbout
Super fun, warm tropical water, great vistas from the jetty or cliff top for photos. Friendly wave breaks in deep water
Additional Info:
A fun spot, never crowded, unless there is a huge swell. Safe parking and good vibes. Leaving the water can be dangerous as the shore is very rocky. Drift down towards the beach and get out there.
