Burros

Surf Guide

Located out on the point at Punta de Mita, Punta Burros is a fun, somewhat soft right-hand reef with a lower-quality left-hand option around 40 minutes drive from Puerto Vallarta. A great wave for beginners, if not for the constant crowd. Also fun on a longboard, fish, or just about anything with a bit of float.
