Farol de Santa Marta is a dramatic lighthouse point at the southern tip of Laguna, where wave quality takes a significant step up from the surrounding beaches. The point offers both lefts and rights depending on swell direction, with the right being particularly noteworthy on bigger days. The lighthouse provides a stunning backdrop and the remote location keeps crowds minimal. On large S swells, the wave can hold serious size.
