A once-sleepy fishing village at the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula that has become a magnet for surfers, yoga practitioners, and remote workers. A single dusty road runs behind kilometers of cinnamon-colored beach with hollow, consistent waves. Development remains low-rise, with beach bars and smoothie stands rather than big resorts.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
