Sand-bottomed beach on the north-facing side of Rincón, running west from Antonio's toward the rocks at Pools. Lefts are the main ride and get long on swells with some west in them; a south or southeast wind is offshore, and the northeast trades chop it up by late morning. Its sand bottom is softer than the reefs elsewhere in Rincón, so lessons use it on small winter days.
