Guanacaste's busiest beach town, where a long sandy bay serves up dependable beginner and intermediate surf year-round. Surf schools, sushi bars, and sunset catamarans give it a resort-town buzz unusual for Costa Rica. The Las Baulas estuary at the beach's north end shelters mangroves and nesting leatherback turtles.
