The Canary Islands are one of the most-visited destinations in the entire world. Located off the coast of Africa but technically a part of Spain, this archipelago boast the third largest volcano on the planet, gorgeous beaches, a warm climate and some fantastic waves.
Surfers who are in the mood for true adventure travel may very much enjoy a vacation to this chain of islands. As the Canaries are known for their large and crazy waves, Magic Seaweed - a website dedicated to all things ocean related - describes them as the wild west of surfing. Individuals who get the opportunity to ride some of these clean, high swells may find they agree.
Specific locations that are said to have fantastic surfing conditions include The Bubble, a rocky reef area best reserved for advanced surfers; Spew Pits, a relatively secluded area for intermediate boarders; and Mejillones, a busy section of the Fuerteventura beach that is known for its world-class swells.
Surfing the Canary Islands may be an ideal vacation idea for those craving excitement and is best undertaken with a small group of adventure-loving travelers.
Surfers will love the Canary Islands
