I recommend getting there by 8 AM. The waves are way better in the morning and you’ll beat the crowds on the beach! Plus, the sunrise views are stunning.

If you're looking to rent surfboards, I suggest checking the local shops instead of the ones near the main entrance. They often have better rates and more equipment options

I think it’s worth your time to take a short walk along the coast to find those hidden spots. You might even find some great waves and way fewer people!

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The beach vendors can be pricey and the quality isn’t always great, so it’s good to have your own stuff.

I suggest staying at a hostel or guesthouse close to the beach. It’s lively, and you'll meet other cool travelers while being just a short walk from the waves.

Check the surf report before heading out, especially if you’re a beginner. I missed the best waves one day because I didn't look. The local surfers are super helpful in sharing conditions, too.

If you love seafood, hit the local market for lunch instead of the pricier beachside restaurants. I found amazing ceviche there at a fraction of the cost, and it was so fresh!

Stay in the town near the beach instead of staying at resorts; it has a more authentic vibe. Plus, you can easily find budget-friendly accommodations and street food options!

I recommend getting to El Silencio Beach early, like around 8 AM, to snag a good spot and avoid the crowds. Plus, the morning waves are perfect for surfing if that's your thing!

I recommend grabbing your breakfast at a local cafe around 8 AM before hitting the beach. The fresh juices and pastries are yummy and won't break your budget! Plus, you’ll get the beauty of the beach all to yourself before the crowds arrive
