Playa Hermosa: Costa Rica’s Surf Hub
Drive north from Esterillos and you’ll reach Playa Hermosa
One of Costa Rica’s most famous surf beaches. Known for its consistent breaks and international competitions, it’s a must-visit for wave lovers.
Even if you’re not planning to surf, it’s worth watching the
professionals at work while enjoying a drink at one of the beachside
bars.
Playa Hermosa’s surf culture makes a great contrast to the quieter,
family-oriented feel of Esterillos Este and Oeste. Together, they give
visitors a full taste of Costa Rica’s beach life — from high-energy
surf to tranquil sunsets.
