The long sand beach at Gran Pacífica has peaks spread up and down the shore, so the weekend mix of resort guests and locals can spread out. Small days are mellow and peaky; when a solid S swell fills in it stands up into heavy barrels. Low tide on the push is the call. Beginners should come on the small days and stay in the whitewater near the resort access path.
