V!VA User‘s Description
The surf is sweet in Máncora, and its growing reputation as a surfer's paradise has transformed this once small fishing village into a hopping resort town. During the summer, from late December to March, the city's characteristic white sand beaches swell with surfers and sand-bunnies alike. Due to its popularity (or more precisely, the popularity of its beaches), the town boasts a number of budget hotels and cheap restaurants. A variety of surf schools and bars ensure that any visitor will have plenty to do, both day and night. Máncora is also one of the few Peruvian towns to have surfable waves almost all year-round; even in the off season the city’s streets and beaches are bustling with travelers from around the world.
