Surfing Trips Gay Travel Costa Rica. Less crowded than other surfers’ hot destinations like Sydney, Hawaii or southern California, the sandy stretches of Costa Rica offer plenty of swells, breaks and surf shops.
Costa Rica is home to some of the best waves on the planet, crashing along beaches that are clean and blissfully empty.
This little piece of heaven offers different locations to practice this thrilling sport.
You can enjoy the waves at the Caribbean coast, northern, central and southern Pacific, as well.
Playa Grande, just an hour and a half from San Jose, provides consistent swells and breaks, making it one of the best overall surf spots in the country.
It also offers a quieter spot than beaches like Playa Tamarindo, and the beach’s north side is a great location for swimming, away from the dozens of surfers tearing through the Costa Rican waters.

Surf Lesson in Caribbean
Description
Puerto Viejo, also known as Salsa Brava, is home to some of Costa Rica’s biggest waves.
A coral reef off the coast produces Hawaiian-style breaks that often carry over 20 surfers at a time. Located in Limon province, Puerto Viejo is a vibrant seaside town with gorgeous waters and waves that attract surfing pros.
Westfalia extends south from Limon to Cahuita and offers breaks from the left and right. The best part of Westfalia is its reliability — it offers consistently good surf. However, please be forewarned of the riptides and jellyfish.
Portete Beach is located very close to Limon, so you’ll have easy access to the small bay. It’s also a great spot for swimming and snorkeling if you’re the only surfer in the family. Portete is also close to Playa Bonita, where you can enjoy some bigger waves.
