Surfing
Surfing is the prime attraction, so if you're arriving in high season, make arrangements for
rentals or lessons as early as possible. If you're just looking for a casual arrangement, there
are shacks with boards to rent by the major surfing areas.
There are several reliable surf schools that get very high marks from former students.
