Costa Rica Guides

A small surf town that stayed small, between forest and beach. Come for the wave, with the forest at your back.

A valley town with mild air, coffee farms, and green hills all around. An easy, pleasant place to slow down.

The long beach north of Tamarindo, where leatherbacks nest. Wide, peaceful sand across the estuary from town.

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

An active crater in the park above Alajuela, worth the drive on a clear morning.

A quiet surf town at the end of the Santa Teresa road. An unhurried beach, where the coast finally slows down.

The busiest beach town on the central Pacific. An easy lesson wave, and a lively town a short drive from San José.

The north shore of Lake Arenal, volcano across the water. A wide, peaceful view, and a fine place to stay.
