You must take Ruta Interbalnearia and follow signs to get to Piriapolis town (110 km from Montevideo). Once there follow the road that borders the sea to the east. After leaving the center you´ll find a huge bend to the right and San Francisco beach. The spot is located in the eastern part of the beach.

Additional Information

Good choice with NE or ENE winds and S, SE or SW swell, but with a N or NW wind you should check out Corrales 5 km to the E.

Atmosphere

The pros are: Locals range from friendly to indifferent; less crowded than Punta del Este; good and powerful wave, it gets hollow sometimes; it’s on your way to other eastern spots and you can check it out from your car.
The cons: Needs a strong swell to work.

General

Just another beach break, don't waste time to check, there is notinhg special on it. Mostly work on storm days.
