The Pohnpei Surf Club is located on a nice, safe and beautiful location on the shores of the Nanipil River. Chosen by Surfing Magazine as the Best Surf Camp in 2006 and one of the Top Five Surf Camps in the World by Fluir Magazine in June, 2009 it has gotten even better. All double rooms are equipped with air conditioning, telephone, wireless connection for your laptop computer, TV and a small fridge. The restaurant downstairs from the rooms is one of the best in the island. All You Can Eat Sushi Train, A La Carte Menu or eat the fish you just caught cooked in 3 different styles. The food is awesome.

Right next to the restaurant is our lounge/hang out room with a ping pong table and a TV and DVD player so you can check our daily surf footage or a movie at night.

The boats are just a few steps from where you sleep and eat and are the fastest way to get from your hotel room to the surf or fishing grounds in Pohnpei.

During lunch and dinner time the restaurant is open to the general public. The rooms remain in a very quiet area upstairs in a private location away from where non guests transit.

PSC location is very safe, and even being next to the river we do not have a mosquito or other kind of insects problem.

Here at the Pohnpei Surf Club we want every guest to really have and enjoy The Pohnpei Experience: to see the most and best of Pohnpei without hassles. We want to keep our guests busy with all the island has to offer from the moment they step off the plane. At the Pohnpei Surf Club we do our best to make sure there is never a dull moment.

There is so much to Pohnpei besides surfing that it is hard to find a place to start:

  • Nan Madol. Ancient, incredible are the mysterious Ruins of Nan Madol. Words or pictures are not enough to explain what you are about to see. You have to be there in person to feel and try to understand the meaning or try to figure out how it was built.
  • Waterfalls. From a five minute easy hike to an all day eight waterfall tour. What would you expect from an island with tall green mountains and lots of rain? There are more waterfalls in Pohnpei than you will ever be able to see on one trip.
  • Outer Atolls Excursions. Ant and Pakin are located 10 and 30 miles off shore, respectively. Incredible diving, deep sea fishing, beaches, reef passes, snorkeling, and bird watching. All the guests we have taken there said these were the most beautiful beaches and unreal water they have ever been to or seen in their lives. Other places you have visit in order to enjoy the feeling and understand the islands are Nahlap and Black Coral. These two islands are located on the barrier reef on the south west side of the island, tranquil local style resorts with thatch roof bungalows. Black Coral is a Marine Protected area where fish such as grouper spawn during certain times of the year. It's one of the best places in Pohnpei to dive and see the aggregation of these fish by the hundreds. Nahlap on the other hand is one of the best fishing grounds in Pohnpei.
  • Hiking. Let's not forget all the hikes and lookouts like Sohkes Ridge, the World War II historical sites located in many different locations around the island, and the many good restaurants and bars.
  • Fishing, Kite Surfing, Wind Surfing, Hiking, Exploring, Diving

A day with no waves in Pohnpei means only you will have a lot to choose from the list above.

Other must-see-and-do things in Pohnpei:

  • Go to the Rusty Anchor. One of the best bars on the Island.
  • Coco Marina. Bar, restaurant, hang out, good grinds.
  • PCR All You Can Eat Rotary Sushi. Only $6.75. Eat until you drop! From 11:30 am until 2:00 pm. Also open for dinner with an Ala Carte Menu.

Micronesia Challenge

Have you ever heard about the Micronesia Challenge? No, it is not a reality TV show about people trying to survive on a deserted island in Micronesia.

It is about a group of hard working people, donors and organizations devoted and working together trying to conserve at least 30% of the near shore marine resources and 20% of the terrestrial resources across Micronesia by 2020.

Take a look at their website at www.micronesiachallenge.org
