The coast of Peru is rapidly becoming a popular destination for surfers from all over the world. They’re discovering many of this country’s cracked desert roads lead to some often world-class and uncrowded waves! Whatever your level – from beginner to pro – Peru has the wave for you.

In terms of potential, the Peruvian coast is a vast, wide-open pool of water ready to be explored!

The Point hostel in Barranco is Lima Surfer Central. South American surfaris often start and end in Lima, and throughout the year we have many surfers hanging out with us. They do what they like best in daytime and party with us at night!

We are located in Barranco, the district which is known for being the young and hip area for all partygoers. Our seaside location is ideal for surfers, and the breaks around us suit all levels. Overlooking Lima Bay, there are many beach breaks and jetty breaks to choose from. Furthermore, there are world-class point breaks like ‘La Herradura’ just minutes away. We also offer surf tours to southern beaches such as Punta Hermosa and other secret locations.

The Point hostel also has special facilities for surfers, such as a board storage and board and wetsuit rentals. Surfs up @ The Point!
