Surfer's Paradise in Playa Negra, Costa Rica

PLAYA NEGRA is a pristine world class surf break, remote from large tourist developments, and PABLO'S PICASSO is one of those "special hangouts" that absolutely requires a return visit. Whether you are a surfer or not, young or old, you will find this "one of the best places on earth for a surf vacation"

The premier wave at Playa Negra has a rock bottom with perfect right-handed barrels and well defined channel for paddling out. The break has good exposure to both Northern and Southern Hemisphere swells and is reasonably consistent year round. December through April is the dry season, and surfers can expect steady off-shore breezes, cloudless skies and flawless conditions.

Sea turtles and parrot fish cruise the line-up accompanied by schools of brightly colored reef fish. A white sand beach just 100 yards south provides swimming and boogie-boarding opportunities for the whole family. Within walking distance are numerous other breaks, including some off-shore reefs for the more adventurous. Contact Pablo directly to check the current surf conditions!

For surfers with a passion for golf, the Hacienda Pinilla course is 6 km. away. And for a night on the town, Tamarindo is only 25 minutes away by car.
