These gnarly beaches aren’t just for computer backgrounds — they’re also great for adrenaline rushes. We bet it will only take six seconds before you want to grab a wave or catch up on some sun.
1. The sick Pipeline in O’ahu, Hawaii.
The Banzai Pipeline on O’ahu’s North Shore is considered the best
surfing in the world and also the most dangerous, with waves over 12
feet high. Do you have what it takes to surf here??? If not, it’s also a
great place to soak up some sun and watch others ride the epic waves.

3. The sunny beaches of Bali, Indonesia.
There are two surfing destination points in Bali—Uluwatu and Kuta.
Uluwatu is for the big leagues and the locals, while Kuta is better for
beginners who want to take their first dip.

4. The tubes of Gold Coast, Australia.
It can be a trek getting to the best surfing spots along the Gold
Coast in Queensland, but the epic tubes make the journey worth it.

5. The monster waves of Mavericks, California.
The 25-meter high waves at Mavericks in Northern California are
caused by storms at sea, making it arguably as dangerous as the O’ahu
Pipeline. This is for experts only.
