Easy left point inside the military zone at Lobitos, named for the seawater pool built into the rocks beside it. Fun walls run down a line of rock and sand on SW swell with a southeast wind, best at lower tides, and you get in by jumping off the rocks. Improvers should pick it over El Hueco or the main point. Bring ID for the army checkpoints; access is sometimes refused.
