Punta Hermosa--Playa Norte & La Isla

At the town of Punta Hermosa, not only will you find larger resorts and good restaurants along the beach, but you’ll have two great surf beaches to choose between. The board-breaking shore-break of Playa Norte is north of the headland, and the large rollers of La Isla, is to the south. La Isla breaks from the left and right and can get a big hold-up to double overhead. A beach paddle can take 20 minutes or more if a good swell exists, but you also make similar time if you enter the water over the rocks near the headland.
