Surfing at Parguito

The island’s most consistent wave, and where everyone here learned to surf.

Best time
At sunrise
Area
North coast
Duration
2–4 h
Difficulty
Moderate

Parguito breaks nearly all year and it is where Margarita’s surfers are made. The right-hand peak is the cleanest, the left is shorter and hollower. From December to March the big north swell arrives and the beach fills with people who came for nothing else. Off season it is a forgiving wave to learn on, sand bottom and no rocks.
