Pacific Perfection and Endless Exploration

Mexico offers one of the most diverse surf coastlines in the world — warm water, consistent Pacific swells, and waves for every level and style of surfer.

From the desert points of Baja California to the tropical beaches of Oaxaca, Mexico delivers surf adventure all year.
Its proximity to the U.S., rich culture, and thriving surf communities make it a top destination for travelers seeking both accessibility and variety.

Why You Need Travel Insurance for Surfing in Mexico

Surf trips often involve unpredictable weather, multiple flights, and remote destinations.

Surf travel in Mexico often includes long road trips, domestic flights, or boat transfers between regions.
While major towns like Puerto Escondido and Sayulita have good medical care, remote zones in Baja or Oaxaca can be hours from a hospital. A surf-specific travel insurance plan protects you against medical emergencies, trip delays, and gear loss ensuring you’re covered from border to barrel.

  • Emergency medical coverage for injuries or illness abroad

  • Evacuation and transport from remote surf destinations

  • Trip cancellation and delay protection

  • Coverage for surfboards and equipment

  • Optional upgrades for competition and professional surfing

  • 24/7 global medical and travel assistance
