My friends and I are passionate about camping, traveling and anything near the ocean, but as college students, we're often limited by tight budgets. Despite this, we make it a point to plan quick, exciting trips that won't drain our wallets. This last weekend, we decided to drive about four hours south of the US-Mexico border to Punta Cabras to see what adventures awaited us.

Keep reading to find why this place is worth a visit as well as the ins and outs to help you master the wave while you’re there. What’s So Special About Surfing Punta Cabras? Arguably, the best part about surfing in Mexico—especially in Punta Cabras—is the lack of a crowded lineup.

Despite keeping her out of the water for months at a time, Inch stays undeterred by remaining positive and an active participant in the Nova Scotia surf scene. Though you can track Regan's surfing journey through various Nova Scotia competitions, she values the community and playful aspect of surfing over competitions.
