Is this the place to come for beach advice?
A ski forum for a little beach-seeking inquiry? Seems ideal.
I'm not convinced that this is the appropriate location for this thread but fuck it.
I'll graduate from college in May (queue whatever college bullshit or advice you need to get off your chest) and want to go down to Central America for two months before I move to Montrose, CO. I've done Costa Rica and Panama solo before, both great times, but I'm hoping to take a more stagnant approach (toes in the sand, beer in my hand x 60 days). I can see a few sites, do the must-do's, but I really hope to stay in one--maybe two--airbnb-type-situations for most of the time and go AFK (maybe I'll finally try my hand at surfing but ideally I'll have a fat stack of books and beers). Though, surfing availability is a must-have for location.
I am currently considering:
-Belize (havent been able to find many surfing destinations)
-Mexico
-Costa Rica
-Panama (haven't been able to find many surfing destinations)
-El Salvador
-Every other country in Central America
As you can see, I have made significant progress on my research and come to you with a very refined list. So, now I ask: who has (or knows someone who has) a house that needs work completed on or rent paid for? If you are dry in that regard, where would you recommend that I go? Should I do an extended Airbnb or should I drive my 1983 Toyota Pickup down into Mexico?
My conditions include: affordability, surfing, relatively safe for an extended amount of time, plus good weather for june and july.
Hit me.
