Surf Camp in Panama --
​Where Surfing Feels Like Home

Start your surf journey

Welcome

Picture
El Ranchito Surfcamp combines certified surf coaching with comfortable, home-style lodging,
offering a complete surf experience in one of Panama’s most peaceful coastal villages.
With its laid-back family vibe and close connection to nature, it’s the perfect place to surf, relax, and recharge.

We believe in keeping things simple,
focusing on what truly matters: good waves, good food, and genuine connection.
Nestled in a tropical garden filled with palm trees and the sounds of the jungle, the camp offers cozy rooms, shared meals, and plenty of space to unwind.
Just a 4-minute drive from Playa Guanico you reach the quiet beach with long sandy-bottom waves.
It’s ideal for surfers of all levels.

Whether you’re here to surf every day or simply slow down, El Ranchito Surfcamp offers an authentic and memorable surf experience in Panama.
