PACIFIC PARADISE
With a location between two of the best beaches on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, the resort is a hot spot for anyone who loves water sports. Sheltered from the southern swells, the consistent moderate waves invite experts and beginners to dive in right away. Get your feet wet with standup paddle boarding, boogie boarding, and sea kayaking, with gear available for rent at the beach. The surf is relatively calm compared to other beaches, so it’s ideal for children to play in the water.
