Absolutely stunning! It may take a bit of a walk to get there, but it's definitely worth it - and the best part is, it's free to enter! The beauty of this beach is truly breathtaking.

Despite its idyllic town, beautiful waves, and good surfing conditions, Punta Hidalgo has seen a rise in unfriendly behavior from locals towards guest surfers. Even with absolute compliance to surf etiquette, visitors find themselves unwelcome and grumpily expelled from the spot. This is a great shame, as it takes away from the joy of surfing and the opportunity to experience the beauty of the location. The local surfers may benefit from having the waves to themselves for the time being, but in the long run, these attitudes will likely have a negative impact on the surrounding businesses. It is hoped that the locals will become more relaxed and tolerant, and that visitors will continue to demonstrate good surf etiquette. Unfortunately, this situation has caused me to change my plans and leave earlier than expected.

The waves were huge today, making it a great day to catch some waves - just remember, it's locals only!
