BEST VACATION PLACES TO SURF ON EARTH: THE COMPLETE LIST

October 8, 2020

Surf destinations are in some of the most beautiful vacation spots in the world. When you choose your next surfing location, expect to be wowed by epic waves and breathtaking beachfronts.

But not all places to surf give you the option to remain in the United States. Some of the best places to surf require an international plane ticket.

Take a look at this list of some of the best-surfing destinations on earth.

Canggu, Bali

From April to September expect an unforgettable surfing experience in Canggu, Bali. The name is pronounced Changgu and it's a popular tourist destination for surfers and non-surfers alike.

Expect the local vibe to be very 'small town' and relaxed. Though it can get busy, you won't have to worry about too many commercial touristy spots.

The village has a hipster atmosphere that allows you to get to know the culture of Bali during your non-surfing hours. The plane ride is a hike from anywhere in the U.S. so make sure you're got a great travel pillow.

Located in Southeast Asia, Bali might require multiple transfers and at least a day's travel to get to Canggu.

Maui, Hawaii

A favorite tourist destination of Americans, Hawaii attracts tens of thousands of tourists each year. There are peak seasons when rain overtakes one end of Maui.

Still, there are sides to the island that remain in sunshine throughout. Make sure you're an expert when surfing in Maui though.

The large waves can quickly become upwards of 20 feet which isn't a great option for beginner surfers. But if you're looking for adventure, Maui might be the waves for you.

It's a short plane right from the California coast making it a weekend option for some. Traveling off-peak season if the best way you'll get good deals on hotels and a good spot on the beach.

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a little known gem for surfing. Santa Teresa, a 20-minute plane ride from the capital city, is a great destination for beginners and expert surfers.

You can go any time of the year, but you'll experience the fiercest waves from April to October. Beginners beware during these months.

As a newer surfing destination, the local population isn't necessarily equipped to handle emergencies like bigger travel destinations. The waters are crystal clear opening the door to other water activities besides surfing.

There's also hiking nearby along with the tropical rainforests not too far from the coastline.

Finding the Right Places to Surf

Places to surf keep multiplying over time. As airlines open up new flight paths, tourists get to sample new destinations ready and willing to accommodate adventurous surfers.

The key is making sure you're aware of local rules and regulations. You won't want to be the first in a local area to experience a surfing emergency.
