Cueva del Indio is a raw and dramatic reef break located along the rugged limestone coastline of Puerto Rico's north shore, near Arecibo. The spot faces south toward the land, meaning it actually picks up northerly Atlantic swells that wrap and refract around the rocky headlands and caves carved into the coastline, producing powerful and unpredictable waves. Its remote, cave-laden terrain makes it a unique and visually stunning surf destination, though the technical rock-strewn lineup demands respect from experienced surfers.
