Surf: The beach at Canoa stretches for 16kms down to Bahía de Caráquez; the beachbreaks can be top quality, with long rides or tubes depending on what the tide is doing. Conversely they can be junky and mushy and perfect for beginners. It will take any swell direction but again, NW and W is best. Individual spot names include The Bridge, The Lab and Briceño. Environment: Rarely anyone to surf with and Canoa has some low key budget accommodation.
