Tips / Travel

Traveling is more than seeing new things. It’s doing new things. Travel provides us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in not only new cultures, but new experiences and adventures.

 

For something new and exciting, try surfing on your next trip, a fun way to get in a great workout while exploring some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Whether you’re a surfing pro or a novice, there are several destinations around the world offering premier surfing.

 

Playa Grande, Costa Rica

This beach town destination offers some of the best surfing in Costa Rica and is also home to the second-largest nesting ground of the largest marine reptile, the Leatherback Turtle.

 

Donegal, Ireland

The beaches located at the tip of Donegal are known as the “cold water of Eden,” but are great for swells. You’ll want to bring a wetsuit, but the town caters to surfers with special accommodations, lessons and discounts for surfers who visit during the peak season of September–May.

Bondi Beach, Australia

The white-sand beaches and prime waves of Bondi are among the most popular in Australia for surfing. The beach is home to several great surf schools for all skill levels.

 

Taghazout, Morocco

This fishing village in the southwest of Morocco is an ideal spot for those learning to surf, as the beautiful beaches are generally not crowded, and from September–April, surfers can enjoy smaller but consistent waves, ideal for beginners.

 

Aurgam Bay, Sri Lanka
