Playa Grande
Edit SpotAbout
Go to Las Tortugas Hotel and tell Louis the H-town boys sent you and you want to surf. They'll take care of you. There are simple little things you can do to get in the water and do your thing without 50000 peeps droppin' in on ya. Go for a walk, monkey-trail style, Louis will tell ya where to go....he told me. Bring some shade and board....Great spot...be back in Jan.
