General Description *

Here the beach break is very similar to Playa Carmen, a popular beach in the area, but peakier and with hollow barrels. It works on both high and low tide and in all swell sizes. Best conditions on west/southwest swell. Santa Teresa has a longer beach and, with a good swell, many different spots start to peak including La Lora and Roca Mar.
