Costa Rica Guides

A south Caribbean surf town, with reef close to shore. A lively base for food, surf, and the beaches just south.

The capital. The center is a pleasure: theater, museums, and the market, a good first or last night.

A long beach of bigger waves, a short drive south of Jacó. A strong open beach for anyone who wants the swell.

A river town in the green northern lowlands. The river is the pleasure: forest, water, and an easy morning afloat.

The town sits on the sand. Sunset fills the beach, and easy waves out front suit a first lesson.

A calm bay near Playas del Coco, half an hour from Liberia. The point holds a gentle, easy swim.

A high valley on the road south, for quetzals and crisp night air. A quiet, fine place to sleep above the coast.

A small fishing bay, 45 minutes from Liberia. The swim is long, and the beach stays easygoing.
