There is so much coastline, hardly any surfers and really is an amazing break. I did get stung by a sting ray there, but even with all the pain that sting brought me, I still have to say it is one of my favorites!!!

There are some really good beach breaks for beginners. http://costaricavacationpackages.org/surfing.php has a pretty good writeup on the Tamarindo area. Seconding Costa Rica.

We are beginner - intermediates, can pretty much go anywhere but would prefer a warm place, with yummy food, great culture and kid friendly (travelling with a 6 year old-mini surfer). I was all into Bali but not too sure now after reading about the weather for February-humid, rain etc... Thank you so much! Catherine Hi,

I've been in the country for 3 months and just started to surf myself. 'The Corner' is a great learning spot in Jaco and just down the road is Playa Hermosa, which has world class waves for advanced surfers. The ISA Billabong World Surfing Games were just there, and it was gnarly. Jaco beach has something for every level of surfer, and the original Carton shop is just a couple hundred meters up the street from The Corner. Definitely worth a shot.

So to whoever wrote this list, please update it with MORE accurate info. but otherwise, very cool site :-) oh and btw, PE's waves aren't that good anyway, only once in a while do we get some really cooking waves coming thru.

I am currently stuck on the continental United States and learning to surf is one of my dreams. You've gotta start somewhere. Could anyone give me some good beginners surf spots in the US?
