The long deserted sands on the edge of the rainforest provide one of the world’s great surf trips. “La pura vida” (pure life) has provided many a traveller with an amazing experince. While the waves are good and can get pretty heavy in hurricane season, for most of the year they are perfect for those who don’t want to put life and limb on the line every time they paddle out. The laid back local life and melting pot of travellers make it a magical place.
