Resumo: Tourism is a phenomenon that causes economic, socio-cultural and ecological impacts in the destinations where it takes place. According to the literature, these impacts can be caused by various factors; including the type of tourism and tourist studied. Surf tourism is a segment that has grown in recent decades, but it still remains an almost unknown object of study in developing countries, including Mexico. This study aims to identify the impacts (economic, sociocultural and environmental) of surf tourism in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Through a semi-structured interview, it was found that the economic spill, jobs, localism and care of the waves are part of the impacts reported by residents. This study shows that some impacts of surfing are particular and, therefore, deserve attention from the different stakeholders interested in their development.
