Will break be sth like "punto donde rompen las olas" in Spanish? Thanks so much in advance.
Two spectacular beaches lie within the Park. Playa Nancite hosts monthly arribadas, when thousands of sea turtles journey ashore to nest each waxing three-quarter moon. At Playa Naranjo, white sands and clear waters lure surfers to the legendary break around famous Witch’s Rock.

legendario (point) break
Parece ser que en ese lugar, "Witch’s Rock", se practica el llamado "beach break":
Beach brake:
Definition: A fast and normally steep wave that breaks over sand. Beach break waves are fun to surf because they usually break close to shore and offer fast and exciting surfing potential, but these waves are relatively short and often closeout (break completely) at the end.

y por lo que se ve tiene un "point break" muy conocido entre los surfistas. En los textos que he podido encontrar se mantiene el término en ingles:
"un point break de derechas con una roca que intimida a la hora de hacer el take off"
http://www.costasurf.com/index.php?id=814
"Playa Negra es un point break de derecha mano que los lugareños describen como épica"

Una opción.
Discussion
I have issues with the (mis/over)use of legendary, so would be happier with "famoso" or "tan conocido"!
