Day 2-6 Playa Hermosa

Zopilote surfcamp is located in Playa Hermosa de Cobano on the Nicoya Peninsula, on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is a laid back and unexplored area not far from the famous and more touristy Playa Santa Teresa. Beginners should take advantage of the 4 days of surf lessons included in this package (one 2-hour lesson per day either in the morning or afternoon). Free boards available to guests for the whole week, so you can surf whenever you want. The beach-front campsite offers the perfect combination of lessons and free time to practice on your own.Accommodation is in one of the lovely three houses right on the beach of Playa Hermosa. The main house consists of three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, terrace and chill-out area. The other two houses have two bedrooms and a bathroom each. All houses have a private bathroom with shower. Choose between optional activities in and around the camp area, such as wildlife watching, Parque National Cabo Blanco, surf movies, biking or 4x4ing around the dirt roads.The Pacific coastline has very consistent surf with year-round water temperatures around 27 degrees Celsius (80 F). Camp guests are brought to both hidden and well-known spots with excellent waves for beginners and professionals alike. Playa Hermosa has consistent beach break lefts and rights when surf is small, and two reef breaks which get very fast & hollow with big swell. Other nearby beaches & breaks are:-Santa Teresa: A very popular surf spot for surfers of all levels with many reef and beach breaks.-Playa el Carmen, Mal Pais: Offers long right and shorter left surfing over sand and a very consistent outer reef break (sunset reef).-Manzanillo: Excellent reef break for big swell.
