Review:

Santa Teresa is a premier travel destination featuring pristine white-sand beaches and extraordinary Pacific surf with jungle covered hills at its back. It is relatively underdeveloped, drawing in surfers and the younger crowd, but in recent years it has had several venues, restaurants, and hotels pop up on its main street, which runs parallel with the shoreline. Its primary draw is the surf, offering plenty of areas of challenging waves for experienced surfers as well as more laidback breaks for novice surfers. Visitors who venture away from the coast will find attractions like the Montezuma waterfalls and the country’s oldest nature reserve, Cabo Blanco. Horseback and ATV tours are also offered inland.
