Wizard Beach
A sand-bottom beach break on the ocean side of Isla Bastimentos, reached by a jungle path from Old Bank. Wannasurf's own coordinates for the spot (~9.3505, -82.1959) land about 300m from this pin — both on the same stretch of sand. Surf-forecast.com separately tracks a break it calls 'First Beach' about 12km away at 9.28, -82.12, near Bluff on Isla Colón; that is a different, more exposed wave sharing a generic name, not a corroborating source for this coordinate, and should not be treated as agreeing with it. No facilities exist at the beach itself.

Find my Level →Beginner notes
The softer sand-bottom alternative to the archipelago's reef breaks — a genuine beach break rather than a reef, so it suits improving beginners and intermediates who want to surf without worrying about coral. There is no lifeguard and no facilities, so come prepared and don't surf it alone when it's overhead.
Hazards
- no facilities on the beach — jungle-trail access only
- occasional rip current
- remote, no lifeguard
