Sand From Costa Rica, Playa Hermosa

Since I've traveled to Costa 11 times now, I'm going to say without a doubt, this place is my favorite so far. Everyone has heard of Costa Rica by now and I'm sure 95% of it has been good.....because it is. If there ever was a paradise here on earth then it would have to be somewhere in the country of Costa Rica. Great Surf, Great Food & most importantly, GREAT PEOPLE!...They live a lifestyle considered "Pura Vida" or the good life as most would say. Everything from the tropical jungles to all the different coast lines and mountain areas, you can explore as much as you like for as long as you like and never get bored. Try and Surf the following breaks while you are there: Tulene, Escondida, Playa Esterios, Boca Barranca, Playa Negra & Little Hawaii just to name a few. Just about everywhere you go, you are bound to find good surf just keep your attitude in the right direction. I've personally found the central to southern coast on the pacific side allot more fun year round with less crowds and a better vibe but the northern pacific has some incredible reef breaks that you are sure to get some good long barrels if you can hassle the waves away from the Brazilians and locals. If you are in Hermosa/Jaco Area make sure you stop by "Jungle Surf Cafe" for dinner one night. This place has some of the best food in the entire country. Take in a waterfall or two when you get surfed out and you won't be disappointed.
