Mancora
Mancora touts the only warm-water break in the country, as well as the largest left-hand point break in the world. As this is a premier surfing destination, if you’re aiming to learn to surf soon, head here; you’ll have your pick of three surf schools.

Punta Hermosa
South of Lima, Punta Hermosa offers your typical beach activities, from paddleboarding to beach volleyball, surfing to sunbathing.
