Long beach east of Río San Juan where rights peel down a reef in front of the main entrance and speed up as they go; the inside shorebreak left is called La Punta. N swell from about 1 to 2.4 m with a southeast wind works at any tide. The peaks spread people out, and the heavier left at La Preciosa is about 1 km east.
