  • 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.
  • Playa SueñosBeach · Free · hidden gemA wide, clean stretch of white sand between Playa Carmen and central Santa Teresa with shade trees along the back.
  • 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.
  • Mal País fishing harbor (Playa Muelle)Landmark · Free · hidden gemPast the last surf hotels, Mal País ends at a small fishing harbor on a little cove: boats heading out for snapper, wahoo and roosterfish, and the departure point for fishing, snorkel and SUP trips into the Cabo Blanco marine area.
  • 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 Mal PaísBeach · FreeThe quieter, rugged southern neighbour of Santa Teresa - a working fishing beach with dark sand, rocky points, tide pools and big sunsets.
