Best Cities by Activity

Curated picks for the things you want to do off the clock. These lists are editorial, chosen for each place's reputation for the activity and how workable it is as a nomad base, rather than generated from our Nomad Score. Every matched place links to its full city guide.

Best for surfing

Where the waves are worth chasing and the wifi still works: our favourite surf towns for working nomads.

Best for diving

Well-known dive bases that also work for remote work, picked for reputation and nomad-friendliness.

Best for kayaking & watersports

Sea kayaks, SUP boards and paddle-friendly lakes in places you can actually settle in and work.

Best for shopping

Where markets, malls, tailors, and design districts sit next to fast wifi and easy long stays.
