Additional Surfing Infos
 On small to normal days, you can park the car on the beach, there is a big hut where you can sit in the shade and watch the break.
on big days(hurricane swell) it is not possible to park your car there. too much water.

small day the wave is ok, with hurricane swell, it can be really good.
Very mushy wave, left has better form
  Overview
  Atmosphere Really chill, if you friendly with the locals. the don't mind if somebody comes to surf there. During hurricane season and good north-swell definitely a good wave. During school-holidays it might get crowded, but once the big waves start marching inn, not too crowded no more.
Be nice with the locals, and please keep the beach clean of litter.
  General It's my home break.

The Playa Canoa insider - lol!
Playa Canoa is all good fun! Very chill & openminded locals, cept maybe if you forget your manners in and around the water at Canoa!The surf can get GOOD here! Even Epic at Canao! Those days do not happen too often. We might show you the spots if the, if you seem like a solid on all fronts kind of person. Some other spots that get good are not to easy to find. Just ask. If the swell is predicted to PUMP, or go mechanical, and you speak to the locals you will know where and when. Canoa is usually always the best BET when there is surf, but also for many other reasons should you visit! Some reasons to go there, are easy accessibility fairly good road, good wave hold, biggest swell window for surf, a beach/bay for swimming, you can get sodas & snacks, even buy fish form the local fishermen(lol)make NICE bbq, shade. So all in all, a good place just to hang out! You could even bring your family. Soem nice scenery, sunsets. A few locals there also that have lived there for a very long time. There are a few guys here that give surf lessons. Charles is one, I am the other that have so far. We mainly do it when time allows. If you are a HoT Chick we make time! ;)Or show us the money!!! Nowadays you can even rent boards. There is even a person (Charles, same guy) who is quite adequate (no understatement!!!) at board repair. Mind you, that he can be a busy person, and he is the only one permanantly estabished here that repairs. If you have any questions,....I mean any questions,... you can ask me via email. Don't be shy! ASK ASK ASK ;)
