sunshine & pristine coastline.
Experience the allure of Peru’s northern beaches, where dependable year-round sunshine meets pristine coastline and stylish hotels. From relaxation to adventure, these beaches offer the perfect Peru travel destination for those seeking sun, sand, and sea.
Discover Mancora, Punta Sal, Vichayito, Las Pocitas, and more, each offering unique experiences along the beaches in Peru. Whether lounging on the sand or catching a wave, indulging in fresh seafood or exploring vibrant nightlife, Peru’s northern beaches are an essential addition to your luxury vacation itinerary.
Seafood enthusiasts will have the time of their lives through the incredible gastronomic experience Peru’s Northern beaches offers. With a magnificent array of fresh, locally-caught seafood, many restaurants offer popular Peruvian dishes such as ceviche as well as the region’s popular sudado stew. Not a huge fish fan? Well no worries, the area also offers many options for meat lovers & vegetarians alike.
Cabo Blanco is a historic fishing village outside of Mancora. In the 1950s and 60s, A-list celebrities and big-game fishermen flocked to its shores for a chance to catch a “grander,” the nickname for the prevalent 1,000-pound marlins that could be found there. The biggest catch recorded was, and still is, the 1,560-pound black marlin by game fisherman Alfred Glassell, Jr. in 1953.
Take advantage of Peru's biodiverse marine ecosystem and head to Mancora or Punta Sal for some of the best scuba diving and, if in town during the months of August through October, visit Los Organos for a chance to spot Humpback Whales swimming and leaping out of the water alongside their newborns. Alternatively, grab a surfboard and surf the perfect swells in Cabo Blanco where marlins, Bluefin tuna, and mahi mahi swim.
For the nature lover, it’s hard to beat the sight of a Humpback Whale acrobatically leaping out of the ocean deep. During the months of August through October, Peru’s northern waters are excellent for whale watching. This is when Humpback Whales enter Peruvian waters to breed and calve. There’s a good chance you’ll even spot one of the newborns swimming along beside its giant mother, likely its very first swim.
