Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Very nice for beginners.
Along the 15 km long wonderfull beach are some special waves- some people who live there know.
There is one spot, where you can rent surfboards and boogyboards. Ask for El Mundo Bar y Restaurante (www.elmundobar.com)
Also La Spiaza Hostel rents boards&has a basic surf shop (www.laspiazapanama.com). The break is located just in front of the restaurant La Estrella del Pacifico, near the end of the main road coming to the beach.
It's better to avoid the river outlets due to strong currents. Better waves from medium to high tide. Higher swells during the winter (may to dec)
