]]> Surfing is immensely popular worldwide. It’s a fun and energetic sport that is perfect for sea and nature lovers. What better way to feel connected to the ocean than by riding some waves? But not all beaches are great for surfing, so here are three awesome spots in Europe if you’re looking for your next surf holiday. 

Sligo, Ireland

Sligo brings in surfers from all around the world due to the ideal wave conditions. Head out to Strandhill Beach for the best spot. This huge open beach is great for the waves and is also a stunning place to be, with huge mountains dotted around the coast. 

Newquay, Cornwall

Another well-known spot for surfers due to the perfect conditions. Head to Fistral Beach, where you’ll find the amazing Atlantic Ocean waves rolling in. This beach is extra special because it’s also sheltered from the harsh winds. 

Saint-Malo, France

Another huge sprawling beach that creates ideal surfing conditions. Head to Grande Plage du Sillon for the best spot. When the weather is right, the sea along this beach will be full of surfers, windsurfers, and other sea sports enthusiasts. Don’t worry though, there’s more than enough space for everyone!

And even if surfing isn’t your thing, the beaches in Costa Rica are simply dreamy. Here are three beaches you must visit on your next trip to Costa Rica.

Playa Jaco

One of the best and most loved surfing sites in Costa Rica, with beautiful golden sand, Playa Jaco has gained popularity due to its ideal location near the city of San Jose, and the special tube waves it offers, which are ideal for extreme surfing.

Playa Virador

Recommended for those seeking a quiet beach, good food, and cocktails, Virador Beach, located on a small beautiful bay, offers a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, luxury restaurants, and a luxury spa. Visitors to Playa Virador will find many great hotels to stay in for several days for the best experience.

]]> Ahh, there’s nothing better than doing some surfing when the mood strikes and the waves are flowing. If you’re a surfer or just somebody who likes to try out fun new things when you travel, here are three cities that you’ll definitely want to check out the surf in.

Lisbon, Portugal

The capital of Portugal has so much to offer from its narrow alleyways, famous Ponte 25 de Abril bridge, bright culture, and delicious food. And that’s all in addition to the surfing you’ll find on the Estoril Coast, where every different type of wave is represented for surfers of all levels.

Taghazout, Morocco

A chilled-out fishing village in southwest Morocco, Taghazout is quickly becoming one of the world’s surf capitals, where the shores get both long-period groundswells and offshore winds. That means that it’s surfable year-round, but you’ll find it most enjoyable from October to March, when surfers from all around the world come to enjoy the perfect waves.

Cape Town, South Africa

One of the newer cities on the surf scene, Cape Town is a melting pot of culture, cuisine, and languages. Plus, it’s surf city year round with the ocean floor picking up a lot of swell. During the winter, expect cold and heavy wave scenery, with smaller and gentler swells in the summer months.

With this country currently open to international travelers, there’s no better time than now to head to Mexico and catch some waves. By checking out these three surf spots, you’ll see the best that this Latin American country has to offer.

Puerto Escondido (Oaxaca)

In the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on the Pacific Coast, you’ll find this unassuming town which holds the secret of having some of the best waves you’ll find anywhere. Playa Zicatela is the most famous beach for surfing, as its massive waves are consistent and challenging.

Rosarito (Baja Norte)

Just mere minutes and a few kilometers from the American border and the city of San Diego, this accessible spot is another popular surf spot. Summer is the best side to take your board here, but you’ll find waves on a consistent basis throughout the year.

Sayulita (Nayarit)

Puerto Vallarta’s international airport is just a short drive from Sayulita, a town scenically located on the Pacific coast and flanked by the Sierra Madre mountains. The Sayulita River’s surf break provides consistent medium to large waves all year round in this sunny town with warm water.

]]> Have you ever gone surfing before? While there are few people who have truly mastered the art of this challenging ocean sport, it’s becoming more and more popular to take trips to beaches that have favorable surf conditions in order to learn the sport.

If you’re a relative novice and looking to plan a surf trip, here are some things you should do in order to ensure its success!

Do Your Research

It’s crucial to put effort into researching what beaches and areas are ripe for surfing. Planning a trip to any old beach won’t cut it, as some ocean spots don’t have currents or waves favorable for surfing. 

Pick a Good Surf School

Surf schools are a great resource for those who are learning the sport. Unless you’re a pro, you will probably want to book a class at a surf school, or at the very least, use one as a place to rent wetsuits, surfboards, and other gear for your trip. Be sure to investigate and choose a good one!

Don’t Get Frustrated

Surfing is a difficult sport to learn, and there are times when it just won’t be possible to learn or catch a good wave because of weather or tides. Don’t get frustrated while on your trip at the weather nor at the slow process of learning. Just enjoy the experience!

Unsurprisingly, the country is popular with the surfing community and offers a great range of spots for beginners and experts alike. Here are 4 of the top surfing spots in the area of Rincon, Puerto Rico for you to check out.

Sandy Beach

As the name suggests, this beach is good for beginners and boogie borders as it is sandy with very few rocks to cause you trouble. There can be powerful waves on occasion so be careful of them if you’re a newbie. The best time to go is in the morning because it can get very busy in the afternoon.

Maria’s Beach

Famous around the world as an exciting and versatile spot, Maria’s Beach is for more experienced surfers. Big wave breaks and powerful currents make for excellent surfing conditions, but can be dangerous for the inexperienced.

Tres Palmas

This beach offers great surfing conditions throughout the year but periodically receives huge waves of about 25 feet. This can be thrilling for experienced surfers but should be avoided by newcomers.

Domes Beach

Located by the Rincon Lighthouse, Domes Beach is widely known and popular for surfers of all levels. Many competitions are held here all year round.

]]> When you think of going surfing, what are the destinations that come to mind? For most of us, surfing is synonymous with iconic locations such as Hawaii, Australia, and Southeast Asia, places that boast big waves and tropical climates.

There are many countries, however, that sadly don’t get the love that they deserve for their excellent surf scenes. Here are three that you should keep in mind while planning your next surf trip.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica, a natural paradise that features coastlines on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, features some of the best spots for catching waves on the planet. Playa Tamarindo, where the Tamarindo River meets the Pacific Ocean, is one of the best spots for finding big squalls.

Peru

Heading down to South America, Peru is another country that is criminally underrated in terms of its surfing scene. The pleasant weather of the summer months also coincides with the biggest waves, when northerly swells bring warm water and big waves to the country’s coastline.

Japan

Japan isn’t only about ancient temples and delicious food. In fact, this Far East nation features some of the best year-round surfing conditions on the globe. From the more treacherous northern regions, where a wetsuit is a must, to the tropical southern islands, both beginners and experts alike will find a great place to surf in the Land of the Rising Sun.

]]> Tarifa is located in the far South of Spain. It is a popular summer destination and happens to be located just 14km from the continent of Africa. In addition to having a great nightlife scene, there are tonnes of amazing activities you can try in the afternoon.

Check out some of the best below!

Surfing

You can easily rent boards and wetsuit boards from Balneario Surg, near the old town of Playa del Balneario. The conditions for surfing are ideal.

Kitesurfing

Tarifa is the ultimate European location for kitesurfing. You can grab lessons all over town and easily hire equipment if you’re already confident on the water.

Windsurfing

The third kind of surfing you can do is windsurfing. You can also grab a paddleboard and head over to Africa if you are feeling brave.

Jump On an E-bike

If you fancy a challenge, take the mountain trail above Tarifa by e-bike. It’s the ideal way to explore the coast and at the end of the route, you’ll get picked up by the dunes in Bolonia.

Dolphin and Whale Watching

Tarifa is a great place in Europe for whale watching. You can catch sperm whales between April and August but dolphins play in the waves all year round.

]]> When you think about incredible beach destinations, the Atlantic coast of Angola and Namibia may not be at the top of your list.

However, a hauntingly beautiful area known as the “Skeleton Coast” waits for intrepid travelers that find themselves in this region in southern Africa.

The Skeleton Coast’s name owes itself to the nearly inhospitable conditions that exist in the coasts of southern Angola and northern Namibia. The Namib Desert is the ecosystem that creates a dry coast with almost zero vegetation. Less than 10 millimeters of rainfall here on average per year.

The results of these conditions are massive sand dunes, the eerie, dried-out hulls of ships that were led aground by the sea’s rough currents and by the blankets of fog that tend to envelop the sea and the coast, and an amazing contrast between the light yellow walls of sand and the deep blues of the Atlantic.

There are plenty of things to do for visitors to the Skeleton Coast, other than simply look at the landscape. The Skeleton Coast National Park, encompassing a third of Namibia’s coastline, allows for wildlife safaris and trips to explore the canyons and mountain ranges that traverse the landscape.

If you’re a surfer, the Skeleton Coast offers some of the best waves in the word to ride. The best time to go is in winter, from May to September, because of the rougher weather and wind in this time of year. Many companies offer 4x4s and surfing excursions to explore the coast on your board.

Run, don’t walk, to check out this unique and beautiful place.

]]> When you think of going surfing, what are the destinations that come to mind? For most of us, surfing is synonymous with iconic locations such as Hawaii, Australia, and Southeast Asia, places that boast big waves and tropical climates.

There are many countries, however, that sadly don’t get the love that they deserve for their excellent surf scenes. Here are three that you should keep in mind while planning your next surf trip.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica, a natural paradise that features coastlines on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, features some of the best spots for catching waves on the planet. Playa Tamarindo, where the Tamarindo River meets the Pacific Ocean, is one of the best spots for finding big squalls.

Peru

Heading down to South America, Peru is another country that is criminally underrated in terms of its surfing scene. The pleasant weather of the summer months also coincides with the biggest waves, when northerly swells bring warm water and big waves to the country’s coastline.

Japan

Japan isn’t only about ancient temples and delicious food. In fact, this Far East nation features some of the best year-round surfing conditions on the globe. From the more treacherous northern regions, where a wetsuit is a must, to the tropical southern islands, both beginners and experts alike will find a great place to surf in the Land of the Rising Sun.

]]> Tarifa is located in the far South of Spain. It is a popular summer destination and happens to be located just 14km from the continent of Africa. In addition to having a great nightlife scene, there are tonnes of amazing activities you can try in the afternoon.

Check out some of the best below!

Surfing

You can easily rent boards and wetsuit boards from Balneario Surg, near the old town of Playa del Balneario. The conditions for surfing are ideal.

Kitesurfing

Tarifa is the ultimate European location for kitesurfing. You can grab lessons all over town and easily hire equipment if you’re already confident on the water.

Windsurfing

The third kind of surfing you can do is windsurfing. You can also grab a paddleboard and head over to Africa if you are feeling brave.

Jump On an E-bike

If you fancy a challenge, take the mountain trail above Tarifa by e-bike. It’s the ideal way to explore the coast and at the end of the route, you’ll get picked up by the dunes in Bolonia.

Dolphin and Whale Watching

Tarifa is a great place in Europe for whale watching. You can catch sperm whales between April and August but dolphins play in the waves all year round.

]]> When you think about incredible beach destinations, the Atlantic coast of Angola and Namibia may not be at the top of your list.

However, a hauntingly beautiful area known as the “Skeleton Coast” waits for intrepid travelers that find themselves in this region in southern Africa.

The Skeleton Coast’s name owes itself to the nearly inhospitable conditions that exist in the coasts of southern Angola and northern Namibia. The Namib Desert is the ecosystem that creates a dry coast with almost zero vegetation. Less than 10 millimeters of rainfall here on average per year.

The results of these conditions are massive sand dunes, the eerie, dried-out hulls of ships that were led aground by the sea’s rough currents and by the blankets of fog that tend to envelop the sea and the coast, and an amazing contrast between the light yellow walls of sand and the deep blues of the Atlantic.

There are plenty of things to do for visitors to the Skeleton Coast, other than simply look at the landscape. The Skeleton Coast National Park, encompassing a third of Namibia’s coastline, allows for wildlife safaris and trips to explore the canyons and mountain ranges that traverse the landscape.

If you’re a surfer, the Skeleton Coast offers some of the best waves in the word to ride. The best time to go is in winter, from May to September, because of the rougher weather and wind in this time of year. Many companies offer 4x4s and surfing excursions to explore the coast on your board.

Run, don’t walk, to check out this unique and beautiful place.
