Playa Escondida surf guide

Surf: The reliable, crowded reef peaks at Playa Escondida (‘Hidden Beach’) are private and access is by boat rented out at Playa Herradura. Perfect roll-in to the lefts followed by barrel section and feathering coping. Rights longer and steep take-off, but less challenging as they bend back in on the reef. Mid is best as low shows the reef and high gets a bit fat. Environment: Gets crowded with boat crews and doesn't handle too many at the small sweet spot on the peak.
