Just 20 minutes by car away, this similarly quaint town has significantly fewer tourists and offers similar, and often better breaks for surfing. No need to fight a crowded lineup trying to catch a wave in !

Frequently asked questions

The wave size varies by time of day, seasonality, and other factors. The waves here are usually a bit larger than they are in Sayulita. We still have plenty of small to medium 2-4 foot waves, but more frequent larger ones as well.
Not at all! This beach is great for intermediate surfers as well. It is however recommended that you have some basic surf experience for this trip. For beginners, we recommend starting off in Sayulita.

From the start of planning a trip for my family, throughout each stay on our journey, Anywhere provided top shelf support and guided us through a most memorable vacation. Our grandchildren have been amazed and thrilled as nature, sun, rain, and sea unfolded each day. Not a wrinkle that Anywhere hadn't planned for. When we return to Costa Rica we will once again contact Anywhere, which will be our third trip with this caring group. Our trip advisor, Erick, was right there for us every step of our vacation. From planning our travel itinerary to ironing out minor hiccups en route. Each of his suggested hotels and excursions we're top-notch and brought joy to everyone in our family. Not a worry on our trip that was not quickly addressed by Eric

We did the Twilight tour with Maggie as our guide. She did a great job telling the history and haunted stories of each home. Also, just to see the architecture along the tour was enough for me. I definitely would like to take one of the other tours, plus it's a great way to see the city as a tourist. We even got pictures of orbs!

This was our second trip using AnywhereCostaRica.com and we are excited for our third. Could not ask for better, our first trip was EXACTLY what we wanted and exceeded our expectations. This trip we wanted a different experience and they customized exactly that. We made some last minute changes that were addressed immediately. Never had to worry about anything. Every step handled flawlessly, transportation always on time or early, destinations and adventures were phenomenal. The personal touches and individualized experiences are incredible. Erich Pinell was the best and there for every step, exceeding our expectations every time. Can not recommend him or AnywhereCostaRica enough! Thank you for everything! The best!

Carlos was an excellent tour guide … he is very knowledgeable and willing to take that extra time to provide explanations . He picked us up at the hotel on time, we arrive to the hanging bridges early and skipped the crowd , we were able to see the animals including the spider monkeys :) . We enjoyed fresh pineapple after the walk and depart to la fortuna waterfall … going down the 500 steps was easy… walking up the stairs was great challenge . The waterfall is amazing and worth the trip. We finish the tour with home made food cooked by a local family … very tasting , the spicy 🌶️ sauce was Soo good . Thank you Carlos for everything we really enjoyed the tour. Aidette and Rafael .
