Costa Ballena
Edit SpotAbout
It's not that great. But the closest around here.
Atmosphere:
Not too many people. Hit or miss. You can tell if it's gonna be a surfable day if you see locals out. If no one is out don't even try it.
Additional Info:
Tends to close out most the time. Be nice to the locals.
