Surfing Las Gaviotas, Baja
Las Gaviotas is a good right reef point break with some occasional lefts. Las Gaviotas can get crowded especially on weekends when all the vacationers come down for their weekend getaways. The breaks are in front of a gated community, which makes it hard to get to, unless you rent a condo at Las Gaviotas. It is worth the rent, and it is a fun trip to take with the boys or girls.
