Hemorrhoids
Edit SpotAbout
It's gonna suck for the gringo land sharks when the Nicas revolt and reclaim their motherland.
Atmosphere:
As of 06/2010, the sign at the front gate of the Gran Pacifica said it cost $15 per person to access the beach with a $10 voucher for the restaurant but the guards let us in for $5.00 each (no voucher).
Additional Info:
Ledgy hollow fast left breaking over sedimentary rock reef. Reef bare at low tide. Starts to feel crowded with more than half a dozen folks on it, but there are usually more than that out.
