Surfing Vacation Packages

Costa Rica has coasts both on the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and you can make it in less than one day from one side to the other. This is
a great advantage since when one ocean is flat you usually can find some action in the other. Surfers from around the world visit the breaks all year round.
Many surfing spots are easily accesible and are near restautants, hotels and surf shops. The waters are relatively warm, no wet suit required.

Since it is five times longer than the Caribbean coast, the Pacific has considerably more
surfing spots. Many of the country's best breaks are found in the northwest
province of Guanacaste.

Playa Naranjo: Great beach break by Roca Bruja, in Santa Rosa National Park, accessible with four-wheel-drive vehicle or boat; camping permitted.
