Surfing Punta Cabras, Baja
Punta Cabras is a sandy cove with a few good reef breaks. Punta Cabras gets offshore winds, but like Punta San Jose it stays protected, making it really fun. Lots of San Diego surfer's camp here, making Punta Cabras a safe place to surf, but make sure you bring you own food because there is nothing out there. .
