Make no mistake, Bocas is a surfing town. So bleach your hair and start working on that laid-back drawl. Beginners should head to Playa Punch, or the Dumps if it's a calm day. The guys at Mondo Taitu rent out surfboards: $15 for a long board, $12 for a short board.

More experienced surfers should probably ask around – the island's beaches offer a Whitman's Sampler of different shapes, sizes and breaks. Just find someone who looks like a surfer and ask where the action's been good recently.
