Location, Location, Location

This Surf Camp in Popoyo sits just moments from Playa Popoyo, known for its world class outer reef surf break, and ever inviting Begginer’s Bay – as well as Playa Guasacate, a 2KM stretch of sandy beach with a preferred local surf break and multiple restaurants, bars, shops and convenience stores. It’s a robust but relaxing area favored by travelers and continually growing in popularity.

Playa Guasacate and Popoyo

Playa Guasacate is the “go play” wave in the Popoyo zone—a wide-open sand-bottom beach break that lights up with punchy, rippable peaks and playful lefts and rights, perfect for nonstop reps, surf-school stoke, or just cruising a fun session when you want options up and down the beach.

Then you’ve got Popoyo’s reef energy nearby—more focused, more powerful, and more serious when it turns on—culminating in the legendary: Outer Reef Popoyo, a true big-wave arena that breaks far outside on the right swell, serving up a heavy, heaving left with Pipeline-style barrels over shallow reef for experienced chargers only.

People used to go to Popoyo to surf, lounge in a hammock, eat, surf and repeat (with a few beers in between!) The sole focus for those visiting the area is the waves. Now there is much more to do with restaurants and bars opening monthly with a very communal surf vibe and increased entertainment value.  

With over 300 days of offshore winds, it’s hard to find a day where you can’t surf and are often too tired to do anything else.

Tide Pools

This Magical place is the perfect spot to end a walk along the beautiful shore of Guasacate. The tide pools are a great spot for families or a romantic getaway for couples. Plan to spend some time here to wander around looking at sea shells, marine wildlife, and a dip into the swimming pool size tide pool.

Boat Fishing Trips

Fishing out of El Astillero feels raw and real—small-boat missions along the beach breaks, river mouths, and rocky points where the inshore bite can be nonstop, with roosterfish, jack crevalle and other jacks, mackerel (including sierra/Spanish mackerel), bonito, barracuda, snook, and even tarpon showing up in the mix, plus reefier, dinner-grade targets like snapper (including red snapper and cubera snapper) and occasional amberjack/yellowtail around structure.

When the ocean lays down, boats run offshore and the species list turns into pure trophy territory—dorado/mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna (and sometimes albacore/“white tuna”), wahoo, sailfish, and marlin—the kind of day where you’re trolling blue water and watching the horizon for birds, bait, and the next screaming reel.
