It’s no coincidence that writer Ernest Hemingway used to come to this beach in search of black marlin. According to locals, it was in this small fishing cove that the writer saw his novel “The Old Man and the Sea” come to life, written years before his visit to Cabo Blanco.
Cabo Blanco is world-famous for its fishing (with several world records) as well as its large, tubular waves for surfing, which are classified as “experts only.” Panic Point and Cabo Blanco are the most sought-after beaches for surfers and their boards.
Where is?
Cabo Blanco is a fishing cove in the province of Talara, in the department of Piura, in northwestern Peru, located 3 km from El Alto,[2] on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It is considered the southernmost point of the Gulf of Guayaquil. It is frequently visited by surfers from all over the world.
