Playa Roca Blanca

A great bonus of attending local language classes is weekend activities or outings to secret areas.  We were invited to head to a secluded beach about 30min away called Playa Roca Blanca (White Rock Beach).  The strange thing was, all 6 who attended this adventure were all Aussies.  

After hoping on a mini bus to the edge of town and then fitting 7 into a taxi we arrived at this secluded beach and spent the day eating and drinking.  As this is not a tourist beach the prices are very cheap. Eg, one dozen oysters that were retrieved from the ocean while we waited cost less than $7AUD.  Note to self........Steve when you go back to Playa Blanca take your surfboard, smaller waves than Mex Pipeline but NO one surfing.  

The little cove created a calm spot for swimming and a short walk over rocks saw a secluded surf beach.  The surf beach was like most other non tourist surf spots in Mexico, strong rips, good waves and no crowds.

This is where we ate, drank, rested, drank and ate.  El Buzo means "The Diver"

Roca Blanca and El Buzo, thank you!
