The Tale of the Whale hole is also one of the most memorable holes in the world. If you like something a little more traditional, the 571-yard 18th hole at the Bahia course is not to be overlooked. It plays down to a spot near the El Faro surf break where you can watch the surfers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the Best Surf Breaks<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Punta Mita and the surrounding area is dotted with surf breaks for all skill levels of surfers! Here are 3 of of our favorites:<\/span><\/p>\n

El Anclote<\/b>: And excellent swell for beginners, the break is slow and long. It can get crowded, but on a good day you\u2019ll catch some really long breaks. It is located in front of Hotel Cinco.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bahia:<\/b> Located just around the tip of Punta de Mita, in front of the Four Seasons hotel, this break is good for both right and left rides as well as both longboards and shortboards. It is exposed to the open ocean so once the wind picks up can get bumpy and messier.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Lancha<\/b>: You can access La Lancha from el Anclote with a panga boat or by driving and leaving your car at the unpaved parking space right in front of the only gas station in Punta de Mita. By far the most consistent wave in the area, it\u2019s a point break that offers some good long rides when there\u2019s a good swell. Beware of the shallow rock that is usually at the take off spot, and be on the lookout for turtles while enjoying the ride!<\/span><\/p>\n
