All power is solar (endlessly available during my stay), water’s recycled and the food is mostly grown on-site and all freshly, home-cooked too. There’s a strong eco-vibe at the surf camp, as you might expect with a group of people so deeply connected to the ocean and nature in general. Regular, forgiving waves and warm seas transform water babies into surfers in no time At Miramar you can easily spend two hours in the water and not feel remotely cold. I know many families who’ve tried learning to surf with wet suits in the UK and been forced, shivering, back to shore, after just 10 minutes –and that’s in summer. Of course, one of the biggest advantages of a surfing holiday in Nicargura is the water temperature which sits at a balmy 25☌ or more year-round. Plus, because the Camp’s set right on the beach, you can grab a surf board and go out on your own whenever you’re feeling confident enough. The waves directly in front of the hotel are forgiving and regular and it’s not remotely daunting – more often than not your feet can touch the seabed. This is very comforting and really helps get those first few ‘pops’ right. Well there’s no denying this is a tough sport to learn, but at Miramar you always have a patient instructor by your side. It’s an ideal package for families and incredible value at just £93 per person, per night. Surf’s up and the water is wonderful any time at Miramar Surf Campįirmly in the starter-surfer camp, I signed up for the Beginners All-Inclusive Package which includes accommodation, three meals per day, surf board rental, and a daily surf lesson. The atmosphere’s warm and friendly, everyone feels amazingly welcome and you’ll find a broad mix of nationalities: Americans, Canadians, Brazilians and Europeans – most escaping the winter cold back home. And it’s not unusual to trip over one asleep on the floor or a couch, as their parents dissect the perfect wave they caught earlier that day, to anyone prepared to listen. The owners have young children themselves, hence there’s a steady stream of kids around all the time. Miramar is already well known to hard core surfers, but it caters for all abilities and appeals just as much to beginners as a cool family crowd. In fact, most days end in the pool, with a drink in hand, watching the sunset. And there are also two beautiful pools looking out over the ocean both shallow and perfect for kids of all ages. Two large rancho-style decks facing the ocean serve as yoga spots – or just somewhere to laze in a hammock with a good book. The communal areas are spacious, stylish and relaxing. The property has 13 rooms, many of which would be perfect for a family of four. The camp is set on the cliffs overlooking a glorious two-mile long, sandy beach and some of the best surf breaks in Central America. Miramar Surf Camp is located in the Puerto Sandino area on Nicaragua’s Pacific Coast a smooth 80-minute drive from the international airport at Managua.
