SANTA THERESA, COSTA RICA
The waves:
A range of beach breaks are on offer here. Waves at the southern end of the beach are playful and suited for beginners, while the northern reaches produce faster, hollow waves.
The beach and the vibe:
Vast stretches of sand are perfect for sunbathing. Santa Theresa is a surfing hub within wave-rich Costa Rica. Backpackers, middle-aged vacationers and surfers alike flock here to take advantage of the wide array of accommodation and dining options.
Crowd factor Waves can get crowded, but because the beach is so long, it can still accommodate a large crowd.
Overboard Nearby is the town of Montezuma, endowed with a series of spectacular waterfalls nearby and a quaint town centre. A challenging hike to the falls offers thrill seekers the chance to jump 15 metres45 feet into the frothing water below.
Closest airport Juan Santamaría International in San Jose; about 8 hours to the beach by car and ferry.
