Ramin
Edit SpotAbout
Really great spot with sandy beach. Only 10mins to reach the village of Ramin and the surf spot from the town of Chabahar. It's a great starting point before exploring the rest of the stunning desert coast and 'Mars Mountains.'
Atmosphere:
The birthplace of surfing in Iran! A quiet beach with just a few friendly locals you see some days - be sure to introduce yourself, there is a small but growing surf community here. Bring some surf accessories to leave behind if you can such as wax, leashes, fins, rashvesss - all greatly appreciated as there is no access to surf equipment except from donations.
No access to any bars or alcoholic drinks ( Islamic Country ), but great local hospitality and fresh seafood.
Women need to be completely covered for surfing, and wear a head covering or hijab such as a swim cap or a 'surf hijab' like these: https://www.capsters.com/swim.jsp
Very welcoming People .
Cheap hotels.
Best time to surf June-Aug, although it gets windy when the sun gets hot.
Best times to surf are early morning and before sunset. There is still some swell from as early as March and as late as Oct.
