More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Pacific rolls against the Costa Verde, and the water calls you out from Miraflores' sea wall. On a 90-minute SUP tour you step from sand onto a paddleboard, the city skyline at your shoulder and a line of local surfers nodding approval. The ocean here is deliberate—sometimes glassy and inviting, sometimes pushing steady lines that dare you to angle for a ride.

History
The Costa Verde sits above archaeological sites and once supported pre-Columbian fishing settlements; modern Miraflores grew as a surf and leisure district in the 20th century.
Conservation

Pick morning start times
Mornings tend to have lighter winds and calmer water—choose a 6:30–9:00am slot for the most stable conditions.
Secure valuables
Use a hotel pickup or leave valuables locked in your room; bring a small dry bag if you must carry items to the beach.
Know your limits in surf
If you opt for the surf breaks, be honest about skill level—instructors will advise but waves can range to overhead on big swells.
Hydrate and protect skin
Bring a water bottle and high SPF sunscreen—the sun reflects off the water and coastal wind can mask dehydration.
Swimwear and quick-dry layers
Wear swimwear under the provided wetsuit or a rash guard for sun and chafe protection.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated before and after paddling matters, especially in windy conditions.
High-SPF reef-safe sunscreen
The coastal sun and reflected UV require broad-spectrum protection.

Light windbreaker or hoodie
