Puerto Madero
Edit SpotAbout
It's a great spot to visit, but I wouldn't invest in any real estate.
Atmosphere:
Really quiet,no hassles. Warm water, sun, great waves. Very challenging when it gets big. Places to stay and eat. Even better in Tapachula (20-30 minutes). I wouldn't advise anyone to camp however. Forget travelling at night. Find a place to stay where you can secure your vehicle and belongings (what's new?).
Additional Info:
You can see your vehicle from the water at about 50 to 70 yards out (depends on the size).
Location

From Tapachula go to the coast to Puerto Madero. Go North with all the rock jetties. Good waves between and off of the jetties. The northernmost jetty has a huge bowl left that is quick and hollow on big south swells.
