If you’re looking for the authentic Costa Rican beach life, but don’t want to be surrounded by tourists, then Playa Grande is the place to come. A hidden gem in Costa Rica, Playa Grande is the locals’ favorite beach and popular with surfers who flock here to ride the huge waves, which crash onto white sands backed by thick jungle. You’ll also have the chance to see leatherback turtles nesting in the Las Baulas National Marine Park.
Features
Playa Grande’s main break is home to the most consistent waves in the area, making it a main focus for beginners, intermediates, and experienced surfers alike.
Get ready for ONDA’s first all-in surf camp here in Playa Grande! We’re stoked to invite you to join us in December for a week-long itinerary filled with great surf, local adventure, community building, good food, and pura vida! We’ll be based at our beautiful boutique hotel, complete with a pool and on-site bar and restaurant, just a 3-minute walk from our home beach.
