Welcome to Almar Surf & Skate!
ALMAR Surf & Skate A.C. is a nonprofit civil association based in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, Mexico.
We work toward a future in which children and young people can access sports, positive learning experiences and opportunities to participate in their community, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Through skateboarding, surfing, community collaboration and our long-term commitment to safety and wellbeing, we aim to create welcoming spaces where young people can try new things, learn at their own pace and connect with others.
Movement. Community. Opportunities for young people.
ALMAR is currently in a development and rebuilding phase. Our skateboarding and surfing activities take place irregularly, depending on available resources, equipment, local coordination and partnerships.
We want to build a more sustainable foundation before expanding our activities. We are working toward stronger local partnerships, more reliable support and programs that can be delivered safely and consistently.
What we do!
Sports and youth development
We organize occasional skateboarding and surfing activities for local children and young people. Our focus is on access, participation, safety, cooperation and the joy of learning — not competition or performance.
Community and environmental awareness
We have also participated in community clean-up activities connected with Higuera Blanca and Litibú. We believe caring for the places where we live and play is an important part of community wellbeing.
Safety and prevention
Our long-term objectives include contributing to community safety through first-aid, rescue and water-safety education, as well as supporting the healthy development of young people through sport.
Every time you surf and skate, you inspire the dreams of kids!
Almar aspires to be more than just a popular destination for tourists; we aim to create a lasting social impact in the community of Nayarit, Mexico. By focusing on education and recreational opportunities for children from disadvantaged communities, we strive to contribute to local development in a meaningful way. Investing our income in materials and the construction of Almar reflects our long-term commitment to social responsibility and education. We warmly invite you to be part of this journey and join us in making a difference.
The best experiences in Nayarit, Mexico !
Thank you!

Client Review
Almar Surf & Skate were great for a large group surfing lesson my family did. They were able to coordinate something the day prior for 8 people and got 4 instructors out so we would each get individual attention during our 1.5 hour lesson. Furthermore, they had some people on the beach to take pictures of us surfing and to keep our belongings safe while we were in the water. They were a quick 10 minute drive from our hotel (Iberostar Playa Mita) and helped us call a taxi back.
Another cool thing is that they are involved in various nonprofits that help make surfing accessible. Through supporting their business, you are also supporting their non profits.
