Review & FAQ:
Every year, young people flock to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica for its scenic ambience and amazing surf conditions. This pristine area is free of high-rise structures and over-developed tourist attractions. The long, broad, sweeping white sand beach is nestled between consistent waves and jungle-covered hills. Expert surfers will appreciate this stretch of water with its challenging beach breaks and point breaks. Novice surfers will want to stick with Playa Carmen, a few miles to the south. Recently, new restaurants and hotels are cropping up in the area, so beachgoers may want to visit this beach sooner than later. Santa Teresa, Costa Rica Map
