A fast, powerful beach break known for its black sand and punchy waves up to 4 meters. Located between dramatic rock formations south of La Puntilla, Infiernillo ("Little Hell") earns its name with hollow, intense waves that break close to shore. Shorter rides than La Puntilla but much more powerful. Not for beginners — strong currents and a steep, dumping shorebreak.
