The cherry on top is SSS’s home base and partnership with all-suite Olas Verdes, the first LEED-certified Platinum hotel in Costa Rica. Plus, it supports local conservation projects and tracks and offsets all guest and staff carbon emissions with reforestation projects. SSS puts a big emphasis on care of the local community with best practices that include hiring and training only local people. At Safari Surf School, environmental stewardship goes beyond recycling, which it does right down to its surfboards-some of which are sustainably produced Firewire boards and all of which get donated or recycled into art. Book now: From $1,750 single occupancy for seven-night package be hard pressed to find a quality surf camp in Costa Rica that doesn’t care about the environment, but the world’s first sustainable, STOKE-certified surf school (and also the first surf camp to open in Nosara back in 1999) brings a next-level commitment.Best: Camp for the environmentally inclined.Some of the most powerful waves occur on the opposite side of the country along the southern Caribbean coastline, though these come only during the hot, dry months (December to March), and surf camp operations here tend to be limited and subpar.īecause surf camp options abound-from family-friendly hotels to luxury all-inclusive accommodations that throw in yoga sessions, massages, cultural excursions, and gourmet meals-we’ve narrowed down a list of six of Costa Rica’s best surf camps, each with its own unique edge. This is where you find surf nearly all year long, especially on the northwest Nicoya Peninsula, and where the wet season (May to November) brings the biggest, most consistent waves. The majority of surf breaks and camps in Costa Rica run up and down the Pacific coast, where all of our top picks are found. First, many of these camps fill up far in advance, and planning out a year or two ahead is not uncommon. Wherever you fall on that range, there are a few things to keep in mind when booking a surf camp. Newcomers and experts, recreation seekers or pros: Mexico has the wave for you.As Costa Rica’s surf scene continues to explode, so have the number of camps catering to all levels of surfers, from first-time novices to experienced wave-riders who want to bring their skills to the next level. There’s something intangibly but wholly relaxing about being out on the water at sunset, groms (kid surfers) swimming circles around you and pelicans diving, and knowing a margarita made with tequila produced in nearby Guadalajara awaits you onshore. I’m no doubt a novice (and evidently quite awkward) surfer, but a recent trip to Sayulita, an enclave about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, made me at least appreciate just how special Mexican surfing is, even if when only watching from the dunes. However, surfers have long prized Mexico and its thousands of miles of Pacific shoreline for its waves, be they chilled-out whitewater breaks for beginners or thudding pipelines for experts. The country’s coastal holiday activities seem to revolve mainly around parties and lounging, especially so in Tulum, a fashion-flock favorite (designer Jason Wu, for example, was married in the beachfront Yucatan town just weeks ago). The words Mexico and surfing might not immediately pair in your head.
