This small fishing village is known mostly by surfers for it's right point preak when the swells wrap in from the south and west, and by windsurfers who take advantage of the predictable onshore afternoon winds from the northwest.

Punta Abreojos was one of the stopping points for Carlos Fiesta on his 2,000 mile solo BAJA CIRCUMNAVIGATION. The protected harbor behind the point was the perfect place for him to run his panga up onto the shore to obtain fuel and a bite to eat.

Abreojos is not nearly as difficult to get to by car now that the first part of the road has been paved. The 88 Km. (52 mile) road is paved from Baja Highway One to the halfway point, near the tall microwave tower. From that point on the road is dirt, but usually in good conditon. From the Baja blacktop to town it takes about an hour driving at moderate speeds.

There is an airstrip south of town that lies on a dry strip of land just in from the ocean. For years pilots would fly their birds to Abreojos and land on the beach at low tide. This can still be done but the Federales aren't to keen on this approach anymore.

There are a couple of places to spend the night in the area, including the rooms for rent at Lulu's and Chelo's in town, and the 12 cabanas for rent at Campo Rene, 10 minutes south of town.
