Top Surfing in Costa Rica

Definitely rent a surfboard for the morning I found the waves were much calmer and easier for beginners before noon. Plus the vibe is more relaxing without a ton of people around.

Be careful when renting surfboards - I suggest checking multiple shops for prices. Some places really jack up the rates, but you can find better deals if you look around.

I think grabbing lunch at a local sodas instead of beach restaurants can save you some money. There are delish options like casado for a fraction of the price!

Don’t forget to bring a waterproof bag for your phone and stuff when you’re rafting. I lost a phone because I thought it would be fine without it!

I think it's a good idea to grab local meals around the area instead of dining at the surf/yoga center. You'll save a ton and get to experience the authentic Costa Rican flavor. The sodas nearby offer a great vibe!

My advice is to book your yoga classes in advance, especially the morning sessions. They can fill up quickly and you don't want to miss out on the stunning sunrise views while stretching it out.

My advice is to pack snacks and water for your beach day. The food options are few and can be pricey. I ended up paying way too much for a sandwich that wasn’t even that good!

I think you should explore the nearby beaches like Playa Pelada. It’s way less crowded and has stunning views; just remember to bring cash since not many places take cards.

I suggest arriving before 9 AM to snag a good spot on the beach. By noon, it gets super crowded, and finding a place to lay your towel can get tricky, trust me!

Bring a waterproof phone case. I almost lost my phone when I fell off my board, and it would’ve been a disaster to miss capturing those beautiful views!
