- Surfing the main beach break: The long stretch of sand has regular waves with sandbanks that shift. Beginner lessons run on the softer inside sections, while stronger surfers head to the more powerful peaks near the river mouth.
- Madre River mouth: Here the river bends behind the beach and runs out to the sea. The water is calm and shallow, ideal for floating or watching surfers paddle across the channel.
- Dunes across the river: Wade over at low tide and climb the sand hills on the far side. The top gives wide views over the beach, the river and the green hills behind.
- Stand-up paddling on the river: The flat water is perfect for SUP or kayaks. You glide past mangrove edges and birds, a quiet contrast to the surf crowd.
- Evening on the sand: After the surf, the village turns to simple live music
