About Playa Grande?

Playa Grande Surf Camp is located in the northern Costa Rican province of Guanacaste in the heart of a Costa Rican National Park, Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas de Guanacaste. Less than 200 meters from the beach of Playa Grande, which is a pristine stretch of white sand on the Pacific Ocean offering some of the best surfing in Costa Rica.

We are located in the south of Playa Grande.

During daytime hours the vibrant restaurant and party scene of Tamarindo are easy to reach with a 15 min walk and a short 1 minute boat ride over the estuary located between Playa Grande and Tamarindo.

The closest airport to us is in Liberia which is a one hour drive away. Transportation to and from the surf camp can be arranged.

A sanctuary for both surfers and turtles

The beach at Playa Grande is the permanent nesting site for leatherback turtles. It provides a safe landing vital to the endangered leatherback turtle. Female leatherbacks come ashore during the nights in October to May to lay their eggs in the sand. They then cover the eggs and return to the ocean.

The eco-friendly Costa Rican government has gone to great lengths to protect the habitat of these amazing animals. This has allowed Playa Grande to remain a sanctuary for both the turtles and surfers alike, and surfers from all over have christened Playa Grande as home of some of Costa Rica’s best waves.
