Camaronal
Edit SpotAbout
Camaronal is almost always good and sometimes great. Holds up to triple overhead. Surfable all day. Sometimes wind or strong currents can make it bad. Rarely there is no swell at all.
Atmosphere:
Nothing here but surf. This beach is yet to be developed and there are no services near. It's worth the trip however. Samara is only 20 minutes by boat or car and it has everything, good bars, restaurants, hotels, boats for camaronal available. Punta Islita is also close by, small town, hotel, basic services.
Additional Info:
place can be very fickle,be aware from sharks and crocs once in a while.
Worth the trip
Location
Loading...Access
December thorugh April, go through Samara, then Carrillo. Past Carrillo take the Punta Islita turnoff (don't miss it) and cross the river, best at low tide. Go about a mile until you see the ocean on your right over a cow pasture. Open the wooden gate and drive to beach. In the rainy season the river is usually too high to cross. Try at low tide or go by boat from Samara.
