Bring your own snacks and water, as the beachfront vendors can be overpriced. I ended up spending way more on drinks than I planned because I didn't prepare ahead

I recommend checking the surf conditions in advance, especially if you're a beginner. I went when the waves were rough and it was tough for me, but fun to watch the pros!

I suggest arriving around 9:30 AM before the crowds hit. It gives you time to enjoy the rides without waiting ages. Trust me, I had way more fun that way!

I suggest checking out the local eateries instead of the touristy ones. I found this little place called 'La Guitarra' that had the best pupusas and were way cheaper than the others I tried.

I recommend hitting the beach in the morning, around 7 AM, to catch the sunrise and avoid the afternoon heat. It was so peaceful and fewer people around, made for a perfect start!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks if you can. The food and drinks at the park can get a bit pricey, and there's a nice picnic area to enjoy your own stuff

if you're planning to surf, i recommend hitting the waves early, around 7 am. the crowd is thinner, and the waves are perfect for beginners. plus, you get to enjoy the stunning sunrise!

My advice is to explore the local food scene—skip the tourist traps near the beach. Check out small eateries in town for authentic meals at better prices

Try to negotiate prices for surf lessons and rentals; I saved a bit doing this. Most instructors are friendly and willing to strike a deal!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks because dining options can be pricey. This way, you can save money and enjoy a beach picnic while watching the surfers. I wish I had known this before but we ended up spending too much on food!

I think you should surf in the morning around 9 AM when the waves are less crowded and more suitable for beginners. My first session was at noon, and it was super hectic. Mornings definitely give a better vibe for learning.
