The Best Surfing in Costa Rica Just Minutes from Our Luxury Villas

Whether you are travelling to Costa Rica having never surfed a day in your life or as a grizzled shredder, there are many options for surfing at all levels near our all-inclusive vacation rentals at Pura Vida House. In fact, both the best spots to learn to surf and some of the most famous surfing breaks in the world are just a short trip away.

Tamarindo Beach Costa Rica

You do not have to go far to be at one of the best beaches worldwide for learning how to surf. A quick Google search shows Tamarindo beach Costa Rica in the top ten places to learn how to surf in the world. That’s because Tamarindo surf breaks are ideal for the beginner surfer. Tamarindo beach has a soft sandy landing, mellow waves,plus you don’t have to do a lot of paddling to reach these beginner waves, making it ideal for your first time on the board. Tamarindo is the most popular of the Liberia beaches, meaning beaches close to the Liberia International Airport. It is also very close to Hacienda Pinilla, where you will find Pura Vida House. We even offer shuttle services for you and your guests to reach this cool nearby surf town! You’ll find plenty of options for surf shops, instructors, and board rentals in Tamarindo. There arealso several dining options for after your surf lessons, from fancy beachfront dining at Pangas (our favorite!), to vegetarian and vegan options, to Costa Rican fare. 

Avellanas Beach Costa Rica

As a guest of Pura Vida House, you will have full access to the Beach Club at Hacienda Pinilla, which is located along beautifulAvellanas Beach. Whether you’re dining at the club, or taking a dip in the 160-foot lagoon style infinity swimming pool, Avellanas Beach will be the stunning view you’re taking in. The beach also features a popular surf break called Little Hawaii. Known for its powerful waves that break over the reef, this spot is located directly in front of the beach access for Hacienda Pinilla. Due to the big swells and shallow reef, this surf break is for the more advanced surfer. There is, however, a beginner surf break along Avellanas Beach as well. Beginner surfers who stick to the south side of the public parking lot, or “el parquet”, have good luck with the waves, providing they go out of calm days. After your surf, you’ll want to stop for a smoothie or lunch at Lola’s Beachfront Restaurant, or throw back a cold cerveza (beer) or two like a real tico (local) surfer!

Check out all the amenities available at the Hacienda Pinilla Resort and Beach Club

 Langosta Beach Costa Rica

Langosta Beach is one of three beaches you can access from the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Resort, and one of two that is great for surfing! Guests at Pura Vida House even have access to surf lessons and board rentals right at the resort. There are a few surf breaks located on Langosta Beach, including El Sapo (Toad) break on the north end, which offers big swells and is less crowded than the popular river mouth break. Providing both right and left-breaking waves, El Sapo is best for intermediate to advanced surfers due to the rocks, and is best at low to mid-tide. Although there are no rocks to fear at the river mouth break, it’s still best to have some experience before heading out on these waves as it can get crowded. After all, you don’t want to look like a kook!

Grande Beach Costa Rica

Playa Grande is a perfect Costa Rica beach for intermediate to advanced surfers. Located right next to Tamarindo, you can have your board under your feet in less than an hour at Grande when travelling from Pura Vida House. Although this is an ideal spot for surfing, you won’t see the crowds like you do at Tamarindo Beach. This is the beach the “real” surfers come to, leaving the tourists and newbies behind at Tamarindo Beach. Located right in front of the main parking lot in Playa Grande is the main peak, where you will find lots of rights and lefts, large A-frame waves, and barreling sections if the conditions are right. This peak can get crowded, especially a few hours before high tide, when the swells are ideal. The Casitas surf break, located by the estuary, has swells for all kinds of surfers when conditions are right. With a sandy bottom for safety and waves at the perfect speed for cruising, this surf break is best at mid to high tide. Get the authentic surfer experience with a bite to eat at Taco Star after your surf session. This open air taco stand is a popular spot for surfers, located right along the beach directly in front of the main peak.

Negra Beach Costa Rica

Located south of Playa Avellanas, Playa Negra has attracted some big names in surfing over the years, especially since being featured in the surfing documentary “Endless Summer II”. With consistent right-barrels and fast hollow breaks, the surf is powerful at Playa Negra. While this beach can be difficult to access, especially during the rainy season, Negra’s main surf break may still seem crowded, as it has a narrow channel which can only accommodate about a dozen surfers at once. Located along the small town of Los Pargos, there are very few dining options in the area, however Cafe Hotel Playa Negra is a great spot to rest up and grab bite to eat after a surf session. Just a short walk from the main break, this restaurant features Peruvian-Costa Rican fusion.

Ollie’s Point and Witch’s Rock

Another Costa Rica surf spot made famous by “Endless Summer II”, Ollie’s Point and Witch’s Rock are the ultimate locations for the advanced surfer looking for a challenge. Two surf spots that cannot be reached by land, you can take a two-hour boat ride right from the resort to reach these famous surf spots. This will be a Costa Rican surf adventure you will never forget!

Thing I learned about crowd surfing is that in order to do so you have to go through the mortifying ordeal of asking a tall person close to you for uppies

#i will say metal concerts?? one of the best concerts to be five four at #also crowd surfing is the closest ive ever come to being a cheer leader. people jusy fuckin haul you up #also i got slightly kicked in the head by someone crowdsurfing. it was awesome

So i was rereading The Duel of Finrod and Sauron and i noticed something:

"... Then the gloom gathered: darkness growing

in Valinor, the red blood flowing

beside the sea, where the Gnomes slew

the Foamriders, and stealing drew

their white ships with their white sails

from lamplit havens..."

- Lay of Leithian

Calling the Falmari "foamriders" instead of "mariners" or something along those lines makes me think that, perhaps, they weren't only great shipwrights, mariners, fisherpeople etc.

They were surfers.

And then i can't help but imagine Finrod and his brothers surfing during their visits at Alqualonde. Perhaps the Arafinwians once dragged their cousins to Alqualonde to teach them how to surf (and to show off their own exquisite skills in it).

#the Teleri are surfers #Ulmo sends them his best waves #Feanor being angry that Finarfin's children can do something that his sons can't but still refusing to let the Arafinwians teach them #even if the Feanorians had learned surfing crossing the sea with surf boards would be impossible so kinslaying it is #had to actually stop thinking about the kinslaying to notice the wording in the lay #no idea if this had been said before because i'm new here #the Duel of Finrod and Sauron #Lay of Leithian #Finrod Felagund #Arafinwians #Teleri #Falmari #my first post

Starry Bolt - 7'2" x 19.75" x 2.625" - 14 pounds

This sleek, hollow-framed, wooden surfboard pays homage to an original Lightning Bolt shape created by Jack Shipley and Gerry Lopez.

The top deck is made from a salvaged, redwood hot tub found in Aptos, California. The scalloped lines are made for maple offcuts from Thamer Design & Woodworking in Santa Cruz, California.

The bottom deck is made from salvaged claro walnut reclaimed in Morgan Hill, California along with wenge offcuts from Thamer Design & Woodwork and sapele from a local cabinet shop.

The inlayed wooden stars in the fin were crafted by our collaboration partner Paul Jasper of Copper Pig Fine Woodworking in Framingham, Massachusetts. Paul used wood from the Ventana Upcycle Partner Program to create the stars. The red colored Doug fir is from the hull of the Western Flyer, considered by many to be the most famous fishing boat in the world. John Steinbeck, Ed "Doc" Ricketts and crew sailed this 77-foot sardine boat into the Sea of Cortez in Baja Western Flyer California, Mexico in 1940. The following year, Steinbeck published his book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez about the adventure.

The lighter wood is from the floorboards of the historic cooperage building on the campus of UC Santa Cruz. The cooperage was used to make barrels for limestone during the California Gold Rush in the 1800s. The darkest wood is ebony from Santa Cruz Guitar Company fret board offcuts. Martijn filled the gaps between the stars and the fin with a brass using a secret Ventana process.

The vent plug and leash cup are made of flame maple from Santa Cruz Guitar Company offcuts.

The rails are made of cork which is more resistant to dings. The cork is painted with brass-colored paint for a bold, shining effect. There are two sheets of Aerialite 4-ounce fiberglass on top and one on bottom. The epoxy is Entropy Super Sap 100 bio-resin which is up to 40% tree sap and is very strong and light.

This board is hollow, lightweight and will ride as great as it looks. Given the uniqueness of each side, it's two art pieces in one. Made in Santa Cruz, California by master craftsman Martijn Stiphout.

like. my #1 advice for getting into niche genres like twee is to just. for the love of god do not just search ‘twee’ on apple music or spotify. you will not find what you’re looking for, i promise

#from my experience if there is actual twee at all its mixed in with other indie pop #or its just. straight up not twee at all #there are good playlists im sure but theyre made by l #small users and with the good and the bad playlists mixed together you’re better off doing your research on sites and social media tags #devoted to the genre and then building your own library #like i know thats annoying but also you may find someone on there with a decent playlist if you really want #but the other thing. is some of even the more well known bands arent on all streaming platforms so you will have to learn how to surf the #internet to find stuff in different places #but yeah 👍 playlists can be good but it’s best to find them through someone rather than just searching on spotify #bc just looking at some of the top ones. un #*um #yeahhh i dont try to be like ‘thats not REAL indie’ but its pretty abysmal
