Choroni (Malecon)
Edit SpotAbout
It's great in the mornings and in sunsets, after your surfing setion prepare for a good meal and at night the Guarapita (local alcoholic drink) and very agresive "Tambores" (drums). Don't party to hard if you want to have a good morning setion without a hang over.
Atmosphere:
Good right wave nice shape and power, in the inside it gets hollow and very fast.
Additional Info:
You can park in front of the square, close the car and don't leave things easy to see. Not a dangerous place but we must be carefull everywhere.
