Why Playa Avellanas?
Discover Costa Rica's Surfing Haven
World-Class Waves
Avellanas is home to 7 distinct surf breaks that attract surfers of all levels from around the world, making it one of the best surf destinations in Central America. Producing both lefts and rights, waves range in size from waist to head high for the 5 closest breaks to Pazifico Villas, all reachable in 10 minutes on foot from our villas. While these 5 breaks are best to surf between mid to high tide, the river mouth offers a reef best surfed on lower tides, providing us with surfable waves on all tides. Little Hawaii and the rivermouth both hold waves in double over head conditions best suited for advanced surfers. The proximity of these 7 breaks makes Pazifico Villas an excellent choice for a family surf vacation in Costa Rica. One of the challenges of booking surf vacations for families is finding an area that will suit the individual skill level of all family members. Avellanas is a highly consistent surf destination, yet rarely produces waves too heavy for the average surfer, offering waves suitable for all skill levels.
