Playa Grande Surf Camp

Top choice in Península de Nicoya


Aside from offering boards, lessons and trips, the surf camp is also a great budget-accommodations option. Three cute, thatched, A-frame cabinas have private porches and hammocks, just steps from the beach. There are also two breezy elevated cabinas that sleep two. Surf packages available. A yummy restaurant and an outdoor shared kitchen up the ante.
