Saladita

Malibu's reverse wave! longboarders wave, really fun. A great place to get ripped off. And the vibe is "going south"... alas it had to happen sooner or later.

Atmosphere:
Mellow spot, but sometimes the locals can be a bit protective of their territory, as goes for anywhere when the place has been discovered. Overall, a great place for all skill levels.

Additional Info:
As you drive up to La Saladita there are numerous places to park your car near the restaurants. Getting out - it's a long paddle, but worth every stroke. Best place to enter the water is just south of the restaurants where the bottom is still sandy and you can avoid the breaking waves. There are 3 good breaks on a SW swell day in summer. Good for all experience levels. Wave speed tends to be slow on smaller surf days, very user friendly and better on a longboard than a shortboard, but can be great on a shortboard with big surf conditions.

Fly into Zihuatanejo airport from Mexico city or another location. Then drive North on the Mexico 200 road until the town of Las Llanos, where you drive on a dirt road 10 miles to the beaches and points.

From the village of Troncones, drive north on Highway 200 to the village of Los Llanos - turn left past the bus stop, go through the village past the Church and the plaza. Turn right past Paco's market and follow the road to La Saladita Beach.
