Drive to the Gran Pacifica Resort. It was posted $15.00 access with a $10 voucher for their restaurant but we talked them into $5.00 with no voucher. Once you get past the gate, look for the sign "Beach" on the right and make right at sign. Go to the very end and park near the Palapas.

Asunchillo - checked this place out quite a few times and it's very much a regular beach break. 300m rides??? never seen it.
the advantage is that you can still surf this place when it's maxed out everywhere else.
