More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Atlantic lifts and throws a clean, glassy shoulder as you step from warm sand into shoulder-deep water. A private instructor from a local surf school meets you at the beach, walks the line where waves begin to break and points out the current, the takeoff zone and how the wind is shaping the set. The lesson opens with dry-land technique and safety briefing, then a warm-up, followed by hands-on coaching in the whitewater and on small shoulder waves — all recorded for video analysis so you can see what to refine.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Bring water and a light snack — surfing uses short bursts of energy and hydration keeps you focused between sets.
Wear a swimsuit under your wetsuit
