Surf Guide

Santa Teresa and Malpais have become famous areas for surfing, and many famous surfers, including Kelly Slater, have been seen riding waves here in the past few years. The Malpais side of town has few sandy beaches, so it's more known for various point breaks, including many that work only for particular swell size and direction. Santa Teresa has a lot more sand, so there are miles of good beach breaks, as well as a few great point breaks. This Santa Teresa surf guide will help you decide where to surf, especially if you have a vehicle, since there are a lot more great spots in this part of Costa Rica than just what's in front of your hotel.
