Why go

The length of the beach lets the coastline unfold gradually, with breakers and wide sand defining the experience. Its surf reputation gives the shore a lively character, while a simple walk remains worthwhile for visitors staying out of the water. This is a named beach stop distinct from Santa Teresa as a broader area.

What to look for

  • A long Nicoya beach known for surf and walks.
  • The wide sand and waves near Santa Teresa.
