About

One of the best spots in the DR's South Coast, with 300-500 foot long waves that zip along in interconnected sections.  You will sure have a blast and will want to come back.

Atmosphere:
The point is non populated, only an oil importing facility nearby (a pipe comes from 3 miles out at sea, tankers dock out there and pump oil into the facility), but not too visible from the beach.  It is a wide, beautiful and free spot, with a river nearby to cool down in fresh water.  Fisherman are at times available, you can buy fresh catch from them at incredible prices.  Wind goes sidewards/onshore by 11.30 AM, waves are still surfable, but never as nice as in the offshore winded mornings.  If planning to hang out bring a beach umbrella, seating and plenty of fluids, it is hot.  There are many kilometers of coast to the west to explore, with similar conditions.

Additional Info:
Access is through the town of Nizao, about 55 minutes West of Santo Domingo city.  Car must be left behind at little town, best at a trusted local place, long walk through plantations to the beach.  Pebbles get hot by noon, make sure to wear shoes or even sandals. If coming with non surfers, bring a beach umbrella, sun is powerful, no shade available close to beach.
