Scorpion Bay (Third Point)

San Juanico, Mexico
🏝️Remote🚶Difficult access

Scorpion Bay is one of surfing's legendary destinations—a remote desert point break system where rides can connect for over 2 kilometers on the right swell. Third Point is considered the crown jewel of the seven-point setup, offering the best combination of length and quality. The wave peels endlessly over cobblestones, with enough push to keep you gliding while being forgiving enough for surfers of all abilities. The isolation and raw beauty of the Baja desert only add to the magic.
