Totoralillo
Edit SpotAbout
Totoralillo is the most beatyfull beach in the Coquimbo region. The water is crystal claer and unpolluted. One of the right waves holds swells from 1 m. to 2.5 m. The other right point starts working with 2 m.(6 feet) swells up to 3m.(10 feet), as well as the left pointbreak. The locals are friendly. I recommend a 3.2 suit and booties.
Additional Info:
Totoralillo is a small peninsula conformed by rocks and sand. It holds at least 3 pointbreaks. 2 of them are rights and 1 lefthander. The trhee has rocky bottoms. Sometimes the sandbar in the shorebreak is also makeable, so you get 4 waves. The beach in the summer season gets crowded end dirty, so because of the waves and the beach crowd, the best season is from march to june.
