Almost 3,000 km of coastline facing the Pacific Ocean, a blessing: source of unlimited natural resources, among them: the consistent and perfect waves of the Peruvian coast. Irregular and full of bays, sandy beaches, peninsulas, cliffs, and rocky places, the extensive coast of Peru holds among its richness the permanent pulse of the planet; the never ending pumping of the Pacific Ocean waves breaking day and night, enledlessly.

Living in Lima, the surfer´s luck is unbeatable, we thank those who long before us were initiated in this sweet dance over the waves and made it come to us, showing us the path to happiness.

In fact, it is pretty easy to live happy in Lima with it´s Costa Verde full of popular waves daily ridden by hundreds of surfers beginners and experts. Almost 10 points with waves for every level, special mention for La Herradura, one of the most powerful lefts in the Peruvian coast, located in a surprisingly deserted bay in the Chorrillos district. In La Herradura you need to be apt and patient, reward is big.

Leaving Lima to the south, the Panamerican highway runs close and parallel to the beack, letting us see miles of sandy beaches full of beachbreaks. The most surfed ones are Conchan at both sides of the pier and San Pedro. To the end of the beach is Arica and its small wave points: a sandy bottom beachbreak and a rocky bottom beachbreak. It is always clever to give them a check if the swell is small.

Peru’s far north coast, between Tumbes and Piura, features superb beaches of white sand and deep blue sea that stretch along a number of bays uninterrupted by bars, points or islands. They are ideal for watersports such as windsurfing, water skiing and scuba diving.The area also has adequate and comfortable hotel infrastructure.

Some of the most popular beaches include Punta Sal, 84 km (52 miles) from the city of Tumbes, where the sea is gentle and warm; and Zorritos, 27 km (16 miles) from Tumbes, where the water temperature averages 26°C (78º F).
