Piedras Negras is the Pacocha reef beach north of Ilo, a serious southern Peru surf spot known for powerful left-hand walls and occasional barreling rights on the right swell. It has hosted major events and can run for more than 300 m over a rock bottom when the pulse is right.

The Wave
Drive north from Ilo to km 217 on the costanera cutoff, then take the short trocha to the beach. Parking and camping are available on site. The reef is uneven and rocky, dead low can shut the wave down, and the friendly local bodyboard crew still expects respect when it is working.
