Las Escolleras is one of the best surfing sites in Mexico, and it’s pretty convenient because it’s surrounded by a lot of world-class hotels. You can walk from where you’re staying at and then to the beach to hit the waves and then walk back to take a break and rest.
This site is a favorite among body surfers and the waters are extremely steep or could go as high as eight feet hight. There’s an annual body surfing contest held here and enthusiasts from all over the world come to witness the event.
Surfers call this area wedgey with its backwash wave and ideally, it’s advantageous for advanced surfers, rather than beginners. You’ve got to have awesome surfing skills to be able to conquer the waves here because it can get really monstrous. People have said the waves are really hard to manuever.
However, if you’re really skillful, Las Escolleras is actually fun and exhilirating. You would need the right equipment and gear to be able to go into the water, though, to be able to ride the solid waves.
Other than surfing, enjoying the waters in the shallow area of the beach can make for a fun vacation. Las Escolleras is a hot area, though, so you’ve got to bring with you plenty of ice cold water, if you plan on staying longer in the sands.
The weekends are rather crowded in this beach, but the weekdays are quiet, with few people in the water.
