Holiday In Beach

Close to the bustling little town of Tamarindo, Langosta Beach is good for surfing and very popular, but large enough so that parts of it comprise a peaceful marine wildlife reserve, and non-surfers can easily find an empty patch all of their own. Good snorkelling and diving may also be had, but bear in mind that the sheer size of the beach means that some parts are safer than others, so look out for dangerous tides in some deeper areas and the odd rocky patch.

Ginger-brown sand that glows in the sunshine and stretches far into the shallow, warm pacific water makes up Playa Negra, one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated beaches. Famous as a surfer’s paradise, with one of the best breaks in the country, this idyllic spot featured as a set in the film ‘Endless Summer’ and there are villas for rent almost directly on the beach, so you can run out and get started first thing every morning.
