Best beginner friendly spot on one of the most beautiful and empty beaches of the country. The patient and highly motivated instructor will get anyone, literally aaanyone on the board and feel the stoke during the fun uncrowded lessons. Coffee Shack always goes the extra mile for their guests to make the place feel like home. It’s wild and viby but well kept, clean and tidy with amazing food, sweet hearted local staff members, amazing food and a sustainable concept that supports the community. I pitched my tent here several times right by the ocean overlooking hills and the beach and also slept in the dorms and private en-suites couple of times. You can’t go wrong with any choice! I don’t think there are many places left in the world where you can live and surf right on the beach for very little money and enjoy the company of amazing people tucked away in such beautiful landscapes. I miss the place and the vibe and the people!Show more
