    One of the most beautiful Beaches in Costa Rica. Very large and long sand beach with tide pools at the Southern side. Great for surfing.
  • By Will Cabana
    Surfing is awesome. It’s so loud and dusty.... definitely a nice place to enjoy the sound of dirt bikes and semi jake brakes all morning. That said, the beach is fantastic and people are sweet.
