Las Flores

Surf Guide

Located at the tail end of the country's east coast, Las Flores awaits in truly stunning, tropical coast, righthand pointbreak. On big S or SW swells, Las Flores rivals any righthand pointbreak in the world: it barrels hard out at the top of the point and reels perfectly to the inside, offering a relatively safe paddle back out. *WORLD SURFING RESERVE* 
This wave sits in a protected surf ecosystem — preserving the coastline, culture, and access that keep it working. Here's why this break matters.
