Watch out for the tide! It can get high quickly, so keep an eye on it if you’re swimming or lounging too close to the water

I suggest heading to the beach early, like around 8 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise – it's breathtaking!

Bring your own snacks and drinks; beach vendors can be pricey and the food isn't always the best. My advice is to pack a cooler with your favorites!

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 recommend hitting the beach in the early morning around 8 AM. The waves are calmer for swimming, plus the sunrise views are unbeatable! Trust me, worth waking up a bit early.

I think renting a surfboard for a couple of hours is a must-do if you’re into water sports! So much fun and way cheaper than taking lessons. Just ask around for the best deals.

Try to catch the sunset at the beach around 6 p.m. It's stunning and there are fewer crowds. Grab a drink from one of the beach bars to enjoy it even more.

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 checking the weather before you go; the sun can be super intense, and a cloudy day might spoil your plans. Bring plenty of sunscreen – I didn’t, and I paid for it big time

My advice is to explore the local marine life on the rocks during low tide – I found some amazing starfish and crabs! It’s a fun little adventure that you shouldn’t miss.

I suggest bringing some snacks and drinks. There aren’t many shops nearby, and eating at the beach can get pricey. I packed a cooler and it made my day!

Don't forget to check the tide schedule before you go. I missed out on some great beach spots due to high tide, which limited where I could explore. A quick search online saves you time and lets you enjoy more of the beach!

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 bringing cash as many places don't accept cards. I learned this the hard way when I wanted to grab a bite after surfing but found out the restaurant only took cash. Get some Peruvian soles at an ATM before you head out.
