MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURROUNDINGS / REGION
Characterization of surroundings/region
Since the jungle hugs the shore, you find lots of shady hideaways on the beach. Fortunately there aren't yet high-rise buildings in Santa Teresa so that views of the coast are undisturbed until the wooded hills of Mal Pais and Cabo Blanco. Not long ago, Santa Teresa was a small village that has now become a lively town. Many who had only planned a surf vacation in Costa Rica fell in love with Santa Teresa and decided to stay. The influx of newcomers from all parts of the world has spawned a variety of restaurants and bars, along with hotels and vacation rentals to match every taste and budget. To visit more remote beaches and villages you can rent a bicycle or an ATV in Santa Teresa. See also: Beaches North of Santa Teresa. Tour options from Santa Teresa include the picturesque village of Montezuma with its waterfall, or Costa Rica's oldest nature reserve Cabo Blanco.
Activities and facilities
Other activities offered in Santa Teresa and Mal Pais are tours by boat around the tip of the peninsula, fishing, snorkeling, kite surfing, SUP, horseback riding, or a canopy tour on the edge of the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve. A very popular sport is yoga, which is offered in several hotels in Santa Teresa, some of them also specializing in yoga, surf and health retreats. Santa Teresa offers plenty of nightlife, especially during high season and even more so over the Christmas holidays. Drop in to the unique atmosphere of a "Baile" in the dancehall of "La Lora", or hit Santa Teresa's other nightspots on the beach where international DJ's spin electronic dance music. Very popular in Santa Teresa are the reggae nights, music that is so perfectly in tune with the tropical lifestyle.
