El Golf

Edit Spot

About

This spot is one of the best spots, locals looks at it as our "Puerto Escondido". Probably it does not handle to much surf (max 3mts) as its "original", but its quality will just get ya!

Atmosphere:
Northern Peru is amazing. It’s full of really good spots. It’s an oasis paradise in the middle of the desert, with a lot of fauna and flora diversity. You'll enjoy it a lot. All the waves are perfect, fast, fun .. and you don’t have to travel too much... There is no much crowd and plenty of waves

Additional Info:
If you got a 4*4 you can park your car in front of the spot. If you have a non 4*4 you can par just behing the sand dunes, but watch out for thiefs.
Best as early as it's possible but if you are thinking to camp here, forget it...this part of the coast is hunted! No jokes
One problem on this beach is pollution, after a few hours dealing with the powerfull sun and the water (usually with an oil skin on it!) your eyes will find hard to keep dealing with, just paddle in and wash your face
As well as the rest of the north coast of Peru, on small days may be full of stingrays, so take your precautions and enjoy it!
