Miramar Point is a rock-reef left just south of the Puerto Sandino power plant, holding the most swell in the area. Two outside take-offs work on bigger S to SW swell at lower tide; on smaller days and higher tides the inside turns into a fast, shallow left over rocks. Pipes, the breakwater peaks and Shacks are all in walking distance, and four surf camps share the zone.
