About

It is a fragile spot that in the future might change a bit dredging of sand from the river can affect the bottom contour of the point,its one of those spots you do true soul surfing in,looking at the rainforest from the water is an awesome experience,the sounds of the insects,at night the fireflys and latin music thru the air are the best

Atmosphere:
Pavones is one of the best left points in the world theres also breaks south to punta banco lefts and rights,the natural beauty of this place is indescribable,at night everyone hangs out at the cantina,theres great fishing ofshore,and 3 excellent breaks on the other side,of the bay.

It is a great place if the wave is working, but you are out in the middle of nowhere if it is not.  Several places to stay, large variety of accommodations etc.  The town can get crowded when its working. - word gets around fast!

Additional Info:
The wave needs a BIG southern swell, as the set up is a long wrap around on a 'Raglan' like beach of boulders.  This is a great wave if you catch it when it is working. It goes on forever, supposedly it is the second longest lefthander in the world.
