I’m planning a surf trip for around a week and looking for some fresh inspiration! I’ve already been to Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Sagres and el Palmar and loved every single one. I’m still very much a beginner (I can barely stand up lol), but genuinely enjoy every minute of it! So I’m definitely not looking for anything too challenging, just a spot with friendly waves, a great vibe, and a fun nightlife scene. I’d love to hear any recommendations!

How about Cornwall?

It’s basically the UK’s surf heartland with mellow beach breaks, super friendly surf schools, and a nightlife scene that ranges from cosy pubs to proper beach-party energy; depending on where you base yourself.

The water can be cold though.

If that’s a deal breaker, consider Lagos (if you don’t mind visiting Portugal again) or Taghazout, Morocco.

I’ve just noticed you’re visiting Morocco in September, so there’s your answer.

Can anyone share their experience or recommendations? Are there any must-try vegetarian dishes I should have on my list? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thank you @TravelNotes! It definitely makes sense to visit Taghazout, and after checking my itinerary I realized it’s already included in my tour so it looks like I’m going! I’m thinking of adding a few extra days to make the most of the waves while I’m there 🏄‍♀️ .

Your other recommendations haven’t gone unnoticed either! I loved Portugal, so Lagos is now firmly on the list 😀 !
