Máncora
The point at Máncora is located to the far south of the town with the same name, at kilometer 1,164 of the North Pan-American Highway. It is located in the department of Piura.
Organos-El Ñuro
The beach at Organos nestles to one side of the North Pan-American Highway, at kilometer 1 152. El Ñuro is to be found 9 km south of Organos and is only accessible using 4WD vehicles. It is located in the department of Piura.
Huanchaco
The most famous of Trujillo's beaches, because fishermen still ride totora reed rafts over the waves as the locals have done for thousands of years. The village is located just 4.5 km from the city of Trujillo, next to the pre-Hispanic mud-brick citadel of Chan Chan.
Costa Verde
Located at the foot of the cliffs that plunge down from the city of Lima, the Costa Verde is made up of a chain of beaches mainly located in the district of Miraflores (such as La Pampilla, Makaha, Waikiki and Redondo). Great for surfers of all levels, with good waves year-round.
Señoritas
Between Punta Hermosa and Caballeros, just 44 km south of Lima down the South Pan-American Highway, this beach has become a popular spot for all kinds of surfers. This beach draws the biggest crowds in the summer, when the area's many seaside restaurants offer beach-goers a varied menu of marine dishes.
Puerto Viejo
Located 70 km south of Lima down the South Pan-American Highway, on the edge of the Cañete Valley. In the summer, the beach bustles with seafood restaurants catering to weekend campers and holiday-makers.
Cerro Azul
Just 131 km south of Lima down the South Pan-American Highway. A superb, fairly long wave. The beach offers dozens of restaurants and hostels.
If willing to practice surfing in Peru you should follow these recommendations:
- Never surf alone.
- Keep beaches clean by taking your refuse with you, and do not disturb the marine wildlife that shares the sea with the visitors (dolphins, sea lions and seagulls).
- Check for the presence of undertowns as well as reefs and rocks on the sea bottom.
- In addition, remember that, depending on the area, in March or April (around Easter Week), tides tend to rise and the waves swell, increasing the risk.
