A scruffy, much-loved surf village where the rainforest of the coastal mountains drops straight to a long beach break. The wave is punchy and best left to experienced surfers, while nearby Playa Dominicalito suits beginners. The 45-meter Nauyaca Waterfalls in the hills behind town are a popular horseback or hiking trip.
