 Access

Take the coast road, going North from Lazaro Cardenas (or from Nexpa). It's about another 10 minutes north of Huahua. After coming around some very sharp turns the road opens up and you can see the entire town and the beach down and off to your left. If you get to the tiny fishing village called Pichalinguillo (where the bus drivers like to stop to eat lunch) then you are just barely past it (get off the bus and simply walk back a few minutes). You can see the ocean from the road. The road goes right thru the middle of the very small town, and there's 2 bridges where a very small river flows out into the ocean under the south bridge.

 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Park at any of the small restaurants in the town right next to the road, and do try to get to know the local people as it's always best to have local people look out for your things when in Mexico.
Great place to use as an surf explorer's base camp, i.e. there's 2 spots named El Zapote nearby, different places, both with really good waves. This area of coastline does need head high and plus size to break best, if it's less than head high, then you're best off going to the more famous places (like Nexpa, Huahua, and so on).

Note: lot of troubles are reported in this area. Check for the news there before to go.

Atmosphere

The people are very honest and friendly. I made this my base camp for 3 months when I was surfing all the out-of-the-way spots in Michoacan, as I got really tired of the tourist scenes at Nexpa and the like. Plus this place is more in the middle of all the unknown surf spots and with nicer views of the ocean than Huahua, since the town quickly rises uphill into the mountains. Fantastic area for eating fish and you hardly will see another surfer. Accommodations are not much more than simple camping. There's a store and there's clean well water (make sure you ask which well), and the people that live there are super nice!

General

This spot is pretty fickle but there are 2 different beaches and the waves can sometimes get good. Still, the best spots to surf (there's too many to mention them all) are within 2 hrs. drive north and 45 min. drive south of Arenas Blancas, where you will almost never find anyone out at any of them, and score classic waves, just you (and you're companion travelers).
