A fenced or contained resort will limit how far they can wander, and you want to avoid staying to close to any roads.

Dumping shore beak isn’t an ideal place to learn to swim! Good quality medical facilities nearby are an absolute must, and similarly, the fewer vaccinations needed the better!Īccommodation needs depend a little bit on the age of your kids, but safety is paramount. A beach with some calm or protected water is also essential.

The cherry on the top is warm, tropical water: not only is surfing just in board shorts simply more fun, but changing in/out of wetsuits again cuts into your actual surfing time. Stay as close to the break as you can, as the less time you spend travelling, the more you get in the water per session preferably you want to actually be able to see the waves from your accommodation, so you don’t waste additional time checking conditions. You have to make surfing as time-efficient as possible: find a destination with consistent, quality swell so you can plan your sessions ahead (rather than spontaneously dropping everything when the waves start working), and ideally one with several nearby spots with different exposures to choose from, preferably including some wind-protected and tide-independent spots. It’s not quite that simple though, as the rest of the family won’t be too happy if you spend the whole time chasing waves and are never around. On the face of it, your needs are pretty straightforward: good surf. LUEX’S CEO Tim getting barreled on a family trip to J-Bay
