Surfing in Hacienda Pinilla
Playa Avellanas and Playa Langosta are the community's main surf areas. Arrange instruction and board rental to suit your experience; conditions vary by break, tide and weather. Ask an instructor which location works for your group rather than assuming every beach suits beginners.
