Surf, sunsets and jungle-backed beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula
Santa Teresa sits on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, where dirt roads run between the jungle and a long stretch of golden-sand beach. It has grown from a sleepy fishing village into one of Costa Rica’s best-known surf towns, without (quite) losing the laid-back pace that put it on the map.
Whether you are here to surf, work remotely, eat well, or just watch the sunset every night for a week straight, this guide covers what you actually need to know: how to get here, how to get around once you land, and where to eat, stay and spend your days.
