5/5

Santa Teresa Surf Hostel, the biggest hostel on the main road, a 4-story playground that totally vibes with the town’s artistic environment and culture. With a bed and a room for all tastes the hostel has an electric social atmosphere and soon-to-be life long friends awaiting your arrival.

 

Santa Teresa is a remote beach town in Costa Rica that seems to have a little something more, a secret power if you like. Its an energy that can’t be explained but can definitely be felt by all. The long white sand beaches, the endless barrels, the music, the parties, the mind bending culinary experience and the beautiful people that walk the streets will bring you to Santa Teresa, but its that magnetising energy that makes you never want to leave.

 

Here you can paddleboard, snorkel, or check out some amazing marine fauna. Take an adventure on horseback or ATV and discover Montezuma’s waterfalls, or put on your boots and explore Cabo Blanco, the oldest nature reserve in Costa Rica. After the sun goes down, you can get down at the local dancehall, or stay up all night long dancing to the beats of international DJs.

THE ACTIVITIES

Surf

Surf Spots

Santa Teresa Surf Hostel is located close by a variety of beach breaks, point breaks and high swells for the more experienced surfers, long sandy beach with easy going beach breaks, both lefts and rights, well suited for surf beginners. Unpaved roads and hidden paradises have kept these magnificent beaches from becoming overcrowded and will have you feeling as though you are entering a secret paradise.

 

Major Swells

April to October, but the clean surf season is December to April when swell from deep antic lows reach the Pacific coastline with offshore winds a common occurrence. Typically morning surfs are offshore and afternoon is light onshore, make sure you are up early to get those classic glassy sessions.

 

Playa Carmen

Good for all levels. It is a gently sloped sand bottom break that stretches for about a mile with multiple peaks which produce long, fun, peeling rights and lefts. At the northern end of the beach, you can see a series of right and left peaks breaking over a slightly steeper sand bottom. Works on all swell directions but the best are S and SW swells

 

Playa Santa Teresa

Good for Intermediate to advanced surfers. Santa Teresa’s sandy ocean bottom has a steeper incline which produces more powerful right and left breaking waves providing a more challenging ride. If you want to get barreled, this is the beach to go. Works on all swell directions but the best are SW and NW swells.

 

Playa Hermosa

Good for all levels, a sparkling white sand beach delivering a combination of rights and lefts. When the swell is big, the point break at the northern end of the beach starts to work. Works on all swell directions but the best are NW and SW swells

 

Mar Azul

Good for all levels. Mushy long lefts peel away from a flat reef bottom toward a deep channel. This spot needs at least a 4 to 5 foot swell coming from the S or SW combined with a rising high tide which tends to produce waves a couple of feet smaller than the beaches. Only works on a S or SW swells.

 

Cabuya

Good for all levels. It is an easy, rolling right point break which forms over a smooth stone bottom peeling for about 150 yards, making it one of the longest waves in the area. A deep channel makes for an easy paddle out and safety zone where you can relax and take in the gorgeous green coastline
