Santa Teresa Costa Rica, www malpaisurfcam com 01 16 16 Surfing Mal Pais
This morning at 7 am waves were waist to chest high with some head high sets. Off shore wind and sunny clear skies. Nice and open waves as the tide was just starting to drop. Looks like the new swell is starting to show. malpaisurfcam.com daily surf report from Mal Pais neighborhood in Costa Rica, Central America.
Santa Teresa Beach - Golfo de Nicoya
Santa Teresa is a booming travel destination in Costa Rica which attracts especially surfers and the younger crowds to its scenic beaches and great surf.
A broad strip of forest lines the beach of Santa Teresa and as there are no high-rise buildings the coastline still looks pristine, backed by jungle covered hills and with a long sweep of white sand beach washed by the pacific surf.
Behind the beach forest Santa Teresa's main drag extends parallel to the coast along a potholed and dusty dirt road. The last years the village has seen a huge spike in devolopment and constructions now spread up the hills inland from the coast. Many tourists who had just been on a surf vacation in Costa Rica got hooked and made Santa Teresa their new home. The cross-cultural residents created a multitude of new restaurants and hotels in Santa Teresa, with lodging options ranging from low-key surf hostels to some of the most luxurious boutique hotels in Costa Rica.
For most people surfing is the main pursuit and many visitors receive their first surf lessons in Santa Teresa. Apart from challenging waves for the experts there are also the easy-going breaks of Playa Carmen for novice surfers. Many hotels offer surf instructions and surf camps in Santa Teresa for all ages and levels of experience. See: » Surf in Santa Teresa and Mal Pais
There is however still more to do than surfing. Playa Santa Teresa and Playa Carmen rank among the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica and you can make long hikes along the picturesque coastline, bathe in tide pools or find a nice place under a palm tree for loafing and reading your book. See » The Beaches of Santa Teresa.
For venturing a bit farther along the shoreline or into the country side you can make a tour on horseback, or rent an ATV to check out nearby attractions like the waterfalls in Montezuma. Nature lovers should not miss a visit of Cabo Blanco, Costa Rica's oldest Nature Reserve.
Many activities are available in the neighboring community of Mal Pais where you can embark from the small fishing port on a tour by boat around Cabo Blanco for snorkeling, fishing or watching whales, manta rays and sea turtles. Another tour option is SUP paddling along the coast of Mal Pais, or zip through the treetops next to the Cabo Blanco reserve on the Mal Pais Canopy Tour. And of course you can always do yoga, which is offered by several hotels in Santa Teresa.
When it comes time for Santa Teresa's spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, everyone seems to gather at the beach to enjoy the cool breezes, while watching the surfers and making plans for the evening. Santa Teresa offers plenty of nightlife, especially during high season, from January to March, and even more so over the Christmas holidays. A Baile in the local dancehall La Lora often features a life Costa Rican band where you can dance Salsa and Cumbia. Or hit Santa Teresa's other nightspots with international DJ's spinning electronic dance music.

This travel vlog is definitely belated. I've been needing to share this saved footage somehow, and now that i've started creating content for YouTube, I have the perfect outlet!
Costa Rica was Ben and I's first trip out of the U.S. and we went with two of our best friends, Dave & Katrina. We went in November of 2015, right on edge of high-season, so there weren't a ton of tourists and prices for most things were lower.
Overall, Costa Rica was very affordable. We stayed for 10 days and were able to eat, shop and play for around $500 USD (the entire stay for two people). We shared a two bedroom suite at Casa Marbella, which came out to around $1,000 USD - we stayed at a hotel near the airport for our first and last nights in CR.
Each moment was incredible, but Santa Teresa isn't for everyone. It's an adventure to get there (two shuttles & a ferry) and you can't be afraid of animals (like lizards & monkeys) or getting a little dirty. This is a very small beach town popular with surfers and yogis, so it's very laid back. Most navigate Santa Teresa's dirt roads via ATV or dirt bike.
The other towns you'll see in this vlog are: Cabuya, Montezuma, Mal País, and Playa Hermosa. I recommend having an ATV for your entire visit so you can visit these places with ease.
NOTEWORTHY:
Casa Marbella (eco-friendly hotel)
Canopy Tours Mal País (zipline)
Montezuma Falls (hike, canopy walk, falls)
Montezuma (shopping, Saturday Market)
Panadería Cafetería (lunch/snack, Cabuya)
Isla De Cabuya (can walk over at low tide)
Reserva Natural Cabo Blanco (Cabuya)
Playa Hermosa (tide pools)
The Bakery (breakfast)
Soda Playa Carmen (lunch)
Brisas Del Mar (dinner)
