Is Maresias good for learning to surf?

Maresias is famous for its powerful waves — but what about those just starting out?

Yes, with guidance

On the right days and stretches, and always with an instructor, Maresias welcomes beginners. The local schools know where and when to take you.

Start with a lesson

A lesson keeps you safe and saves you from frustration. There are schools and board rentals in the middle of the beach. See the schools and activities in the guide.

Keep an eye on the sea

Check the wave height and wind and respect the lifeguard flags.
