This punchy and extremely hollow beach break offers several peaks perfectly groomed by daily offshore winds. It is considered the all around "Best" in the area and the atmosphere is laid back without the crowds of Tamarindo. This is a protected beach as thousands of sea turtles come to lay their eggs there. With commonly good offshore winds waves break at 2 to 10 feet.

Tamarindo

This is a fun place and a lot of party going on. There are three good waves in Tamarindo: 1) El Estero: right-breaking, long and fun. 2) Pico Pequeo: a sometimes perfect wave. 3) Langosta: this is the largest and strongest wave point, but not that perfect.

Avellanas

This is a great place for surfing. There is a large beach and many best quality beach breaks. There are two wave points: a point with left-breaking waves, closer to the shore; and a right-breaking wave spot (Little Hawaii) where you can enjoy a large and big solid, but not perfect wave.

Potrero Grande (Ollie's Point)

This is a fast and perfect wave that breaks to the right over a rocky sea bottom. When waves are coming in from the south, this wave ranges from 2 to 7 feet high. Access to the beach is only possible by boat from Playa del Coco or Guajiniquil. If you wish to camp on the beach, you must bring a complete camping set, including food and water. There are few surfers on this beach.

Roca Bruja aka Witches Rock (Playa Naranjo)

This beach is part of Santa Rosa National Park. There are many perfect beach breaks coming in from all directions. You can camp at the park ranger's station, or near the swamp. During the rainy season, (July through November) access to the beaches is closed down and you can only go there by boat from Playa del Coco (a trip that Pura Vida Tours organizes quite frequently). We recommend you bring a 4 wheel drive, since roads are bad all year round, and lots of mosquito repellent
