SURF CAMP FOR BEGINNERS
The Best Place to Learn to Surf in Popoyo
Magnific Rock is located right in front of Beginners Bay, one of the most ideal places in Nicaragua to learn how to surf.
The waves here are mellow, consistent, and friendly, exactly what you want when you’re getting your feet wet for the first time.
Why We’re the Top Surf Camp for Beginners in Nicaragua
Direct Beach Access to Beginners Bay
Most surf camps say they’re “near” good waves. We’re literally in front of them. Walk out of your room, grab a board, and you’re already there. No long drives, just perfect conditions for learning.
Gentle, Consistent Waves Perfect for Beginner Surf Lessons
Thanks to Nicaragua’s year-round offshore winds, Beginners Bay delivers clean, forgiving waves almost daily. With multiple waves, point breaks or over soft sand, it makes a safer and more relaxed environment to learn and improve at your own pace.
Experienced Coaches That Make Learning to Surf Easy
Our instructors are knowedable, passionate, and know how to build confidence in the water. Whether it’s your first time on a board or you’ve tried a few times before, they’ll meet you at your level and help you progress fast, without pressure.
More Than Just Surf Lessons
When you’re not catching waves, you’re recharging with great food, poolside hangouts, optional yoga, and jaw-dropping ocean views. It’s not just surf school, it’s the full Magnific Rock experience.
