Things to do in Santa Teresa, Province of Puntarenas: The Best Surfing, Windsurfing & Kitesurfing

May 6, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Surf’s always up in the Costa Rican beach town of Santa Teresa. Bright sun and gleaming sands make the perfect backdrop to hang ten in the crystal-clear waters, and fishing, snorkeling and kite-surfing are popular among vacationers. Yoga and spa services are a must for the ultimate relaxation, and, at night, catch a glorious sunset on the same beach where earlier you caught a wave.
