We were pleasantly surprised with the location of the villas, it was centrally located to a numerous amount of know surf spots. The villas are located about 45 minutes to an hour from Playa Hermosa and Playa Dominical.
Going north from our secluded rental paradise, you will find surf breaks like Punta Quepos, Bocas Damas, Playa Bejuco, Playa Esterillos Este, Playa Esterillos Oeste and Playa Hermosa. Jaco is just a few more minutes up the road from Hermosa where the rivermouth is normally a good spot for some surf.
To the South you will find many breaks in Manuel Antonio and Playa El Rey is about twenty minutes from villas. Playa El Rey is a long stretch of beach offering up peaks with nobody on them. You go south from the villas to Roncador, about 20-25 minutes, and pass through the town. After you go over two drainage ditches, puentes, look for a telephone pole that has “Rey” painted on it. The telephone pole is hard to spot so keep your eyes peeled about 100 yards or so after the second puente. Follow this road all the way to the beach. It takes about 10 minutes from the main road until you see the beach but once you get there you won’t regret it. Keep an eye out for crocodiles in the canal running parallel to the road, they are hard to spot but they are there. Playa Dominical and Punta Dominical is just another half hour or so from the El Rey turnoff.
Every time I have gone to Costa Rica I have always had a car to take day trips to find surf with no one out. As for the villas, it is a prime spot to go on an adventure with your friends and surf your own peak.
