Monterrico beach

The sand here is made from volcanic lava rock. The bartender here told us that if you put a magnet on top of the sand that you would pick up some pieces, because of all the iron. The waves here are HUGE! My Dad and Deklan were out riding the waves when a giant wave crashed on him, he was in the air about 15 feet! (he is still ok, he said all he could see was beach, and sand below him) The waves are on average about 5 feet in the morning, 10 in the afternoon and approx 5-10 feet at night. There are the occasional rogue giant waves. There are dogs that swim in the ocean in the heat of the day because its just so hot! It is very humid here, and even without the humidity it is over 40 degrees. We just got to the hot season here, so my family and I look like pop cans fresh out of the fridge, sweating!! Oh got to go now, it is time to play some beach volleyball!
