Costa Rica Surfing Vacations

Surfing is a Way of Life in Costa Rica

Imagine yourself paddling out into the warm turquoise waters of Costa Rica, the sun on your face and the thrill of anticipation in your heart. Whether you're carving up legendary breaks like Witch's Rock or riding your first wave in the gentle swells of Tamarindo, this vibrant country offers a surfer's paradise unlike any other.

On the Caribbean coast, the legendary Salsa Brava in Puerto Viejo beckons experienced riders with its colossal, Hawaiian-sized wave.  Feel the adrenaline surge as you conquer this challenging reef break, surrounded by the vibrant energy of this charming beach town.

Guanacaste and the wider Pacific coast offer different surf settings.
