Playa Avellanas is excellent for surfing and popular with locals, and connects with other nearby beaches all along the coast so you can walk as far as Tamarindo – some ten kilometres away – on foot in the soft, pale sand. The water is shallow and also good for swimming, and there are shady places to sit and enjoy a drink at the bar between the palm trees.
Altough Montezuma has become a popular vacation spot in the last 50 years, the town still has quiet remote sections and nearly untouched beaches. On Costa Rica’s southern Nicoya Peninsula, the countryside teems with waterfalls and great waters for surfing.
Vacationers can also experience the closeness of the community and the richness of Montezuma’s local culture. An eco-friendly town that believes in conservation, Montezuma is home to several amateur and professional artists and musicians, as well as jungle animals such as monkeys and tigers.
