El Ranchito Surf Camp. Well, there's not much 'camp' about it. Beautifully landscaped grounds and accommodations. When you have Jiani as a stellar chef and Lorenzo as the perfect surf instructor/fitness coach (nice gym and even better instruction)....well check all the boxes for El Ranchito. Very accommodating hosts, that get you to and on the surf. Nicely sculpted beach break, rights and lefts, only 100 yards to the outside sets (solid 6'+ face). A very memorable and fun experience.

I stayed about 4 nights here with Lorenzo and Jiani. Had a nice relaxing time. Had my own surf equipment so didn't want surf lessons.But one of the Guy's dropped me to the beach each morning and some afternoons also. Its approximately 4km walk which i did a few times Good beach with a nice cafe and a couple of bar/restaurants. There's a communal kitchen on the property which i used for meals. Its possible to get there by public bus but give yourself plenty of time for connections etc.
