Los Barriles

Sports and the Outdoors

Water-sports equipment and boat trips are available through area hotels, although veterans tend to bring their own gear and rent cars to reach isolated spots. Windsurfers take over the East Cape during winter months, when stiff breezes provide ideal conditions. Catch them flying over the waves at Playa Norte in Los Barriles.

VelaWindsurf, with branches here and in several locales around the world, offers windsurfing and kite-boarding lessons and trips to Los Barriles in winter and fall; its center is located in front of the Hotel Playa del Sol.
