Cocles is a small village on the Atlantic Coast south of Puerto Viejo, in the Caribbean lowlands. This spectacularly beautiful beach, surrounded by lush vegetation, is very popular with international surfers, especially at its northern end., Salsa Brava located nearby, is considered one of the best beaches for surfing in Costa Rica.
This beach has waves that break both to the left and right near the steep beach. Surfing is best early in the day, and between December and March. The beach is also great for swimmers and is one of a few beaches in the area patrolled by lifeguards provided by the local community.
