For many travelers heading south for the winter, lounging around on the beach
all day may be the extent of their vacation plans. However, for those
excursionists looking for more of an active vacation, one option is a holiday
surf getaway to the Central American paradise of Costa Rica.
Nestled
safely between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, Costa Rica offers
ecologically-minded tourists a playground of lush tropical rain forests,
unspoiled mountains and scenic beaches peppered with an international mix of
travelers seeking to soak up the sun and hit the waves.
The tropical
climate offers accommodatingly warm temperatures year round, and with a
collection of over 50 surf breaks providing the coast with mammoth waves and
hollow barrels to ride, surfing rarely gets dull.
Adventurous surf
enthusiasts enjoy Costa Rica as the surfer’s “road less traveled.” With nearly
limitless stretches of pristine beach, Costa Rica offers an authentic
alternative for surfers looking for an unspoiled adrenaline dream.
