Secret spots nearby

  • Playa Santa TeresaBeach · FreeMiles of pale sand, consistent surf and black-rock points — the beach that turned a dirt-road village into the Nicoya Peninsula's surf and yoga capital.
  • Playa SueñosBeach · Free · hidden gemA wide, clean stretch of white sand between Playa Carmen and central Santa Teresa with shade trees along the back.
  • Playa Hermosa (Santa Teresa)Beach · FreeA wide, jungle-backed beach a few minutes north of Santa Teresa with no buildings on the sand and some of the most consistent beginner-friendly waves on the coast.
  • Playa Carmen (Mal País)Beach · FreeA long surf beach just south of Santa Teresa with a more relaxed feel, forest behind the sand and beginner-friendly waves.
  • Mal País Tide Pools (Mar Azul)Swimming spot · FreeNatural 'hot tubs' carved into the volcanic rock shelf at Mal País: when the sea pulls back, it leaves clear pools full of little fish, some barrel-sized, some big enough to float in.
  • Playa Manzanillo (Santa Teresa)Beach · Free · hidden gemA quiet mix of white sand, black rock and palms past Playa Hermosa, with clear rock pools between mid and low tide and a wide-open sunset horizon.
