Top Water Activities in Mar del Plata

Check the surf conditions before you go! I found out there are better waves in the morning, around 8-10 AM. It's less crowded and way more fun. If you’re not a pro, consider renting a board nearby instead of buying one.

Bring your own snacks and drinks. Beach vendors can be overpriced. I saved a ton by just packing a cooler with some sandwiches and water. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Try to learn a few Spanish phrases. Most people were friendly, but knowing basic greetings made my interactions way better. Plus, you’ll get more local recommendations that way. It’s a win-win!

Bring your own surf gear if you can. Rental prices can skyrocket during peak season, so packing your own board and wetsuit is a game-changer.

I recommend hitting the waves early in the morning, around 7 AM, when the water is less crowded and the waves are perfect for surfing. It's pretty peaceful then!

If you're planning to stay for sunset, grab a spot on the beach by 6 PM. It gets packed quickly, and trust me, the sunset views are totally worth it!
