Puerto Rico

If your idea of a legendary vacay involves warm, white sand beaches and island vibes, Puerto Rico is the place to be. Aside from the lure that comes along with any tropical paradise, the pumping surf of Puerto Rico is a major selling point. 

The big, hollow breaks, strong currents, and frequent riptides here are definitely better suited to intermediate and advanced-level surfers, but you don’t have to be a pro to take on PR surf. It may not be the ideal place to learn, but there are always options for beginner surf camps, lessons, and schools.
