Caribbean Costa Rica

Caribbean Costa Rica offers a completely different surf experience from the Pacific coast. The waves here are less consistent but when they fire, you'll find uncrowded peaks and warm Caribbean water. The region around Puerto Viejo comes alive during the December-March swell season, particularly at Salsa Brava, one of Central America's heaviest waves. The Caribbean side also offers rich Afro-Caribbean culture, different cuisine, and a more relaxed, reggae-influenced atmosphere.
