I've always wanted to try surfing and so we went for the day to here, which is apparently great for beginners. We hired boards, plus instructor, and were off! So much harder than it looks but at the same time a bucketload of fun!

As a surfer I've long since coveted a holiday in LA where I could go and hang out (and hopefully surf) here. It was as awesome as i'd hoped and I even got to surf Zuma Beach, spiritual home of my trusty minimal which sadly couldn't make the trip.

East of LA, not too far and certainly worth it

Amazing! We went for a day's surfing with a couple of locals we met in the bar and had such a great day out! I had no idea there were even beaches so close to the city!

I couldn't go to Melbourne and not visit Bells Beach, since I grew up with posters of surfers there on my walls. Shame the surf was flat the day I got to go, but a lovely beach all the same, maybe one day when i'm rich i'll go back when it's the RipCurl competition there.

At just over 100km away it's a bit of a trip but who can say no to a day at the beach?

I'm a keen surfer and had heard about Martianez Beach. Martianez is a safe beach but very small. Don't know if it gets better with more swell but this particular day it was not worth to get wet.

Puerto De La Cruz - Martiánez, Canary Islands
