Santa Rosa Beach

In southern Lima, in the Punta Negra District, lies Santa Rosa beach.
 
Noted for its large and perfectly formed waves, it’s a magnet for local and foreign surfers alike.
 
Surfing lore has it that the best waves appear from April until the end of the year and that it’s really not a good place for beginners.

So if you’re a novice, don’t show up with an outdated board and cheesy wetsuit like Keanu did in Point Break. Instead, grab your shades, some sunblock, and a cool drink and watch the pros make it look easy.
