SURFING AT PLAYA AZUL, MICHOACAN September 19
Coastal town, with sandy beaches in the middle of open sea. Playa Azul is known for its beautiful waters of the unique color which it’s very appropriate to its name (blue beach). It is one of the most visited beaches of the entity and offers, in addiction to soft and yellow sands, strong waves and gentle slope.
In Playa Azul you will enjoy a stunning landscape of steep mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and great beaches. Playa Azul is a simple holiday town with a solid surfing population and plenty of beach-side restaurants and shops. As far as the surf goes, the coastline is rich and varied, with cobblestone reef breaks, point breaks and river-mouths. It’s open to all swells from the south to the west-northwest, meaning there are waves all year. In the summer is when you will catch big and occasionally huge waves and smaller ones in the winter.
American and Canadian surfers have been coming here for decades, and many are understandably tight-lipped abut various hidden gems along this stretch of coast. This place is best explored with a good 4WD, lots of time, and a small crew of friends or family that like to explore and surf.
