                       Playa Marbella

Playa Marbella is located about 12 km south of Junquillal, off National Road 160 between Junquillal and Playa Ostional. It is a fairly remote spot without services of any kind. Marbella is nown for its  consistency, especially with offshore winds.

Marbella has two main breaks. A beachbreak to the north that works best at mid to high tides and can break bigger when other spots are small. It also gets hollow and can provide some quick rights. The second break to the south is a left point break off a rock shelf that works best at lower tides. Waves can go for about 200 yards with a big shoulder for cutbacks, but not tuberides. The crowd is usually heavier at the beachbreak and there a lot of locals that surf it so give them respect
