Sunset session picks in Punta Colonet

West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.

Cabo Colonet
point
intermediate

Cabo Colonet is the large, cliff-lined headland west of Colonet. On the right swell a long right wraps along the cliffs, but it needs real size to break and is dormant most of the time. It is a self-supported trip.

Evening access

Dirt road access from Colonet. There are no services, so bring food, water and fuel.

K-181
reef
advanced

K-181 is named for the Highway 1 kilometer marker near Colonet, where a rough road leads to a remote reef. It needs a decent swell to wake up, and the reef produces boils in the lineup. Few people surf it, which is the main appeal.

Evening access

The road is unpaved and rough, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended. There are no services, so bring water, food and a first-aid kit.

This San Antonio del Mar is a long, quiet beach west of Colonet, not the one in Tijuana. It is an open beach break with shifting sandbars, dunes and room to camp. The water can be affected by runoff from the nearby estuary after rain.

Evening access

Dirt road access from Colonet. A vehicle with good clearance helps. Bring your own supplies for camping.
