Besides having one of the most beautiful
surfer beaches in Costa Rica, Playa Avellanas consists mainly of hotels, cabins, and a few restaurants. It is a wonderful place to escape to find peace and relaxation.
Although roughly 25 minutes away from
Playa Tamarindo, this little surfing community remains pristine and tranquilo. There is a handful of restaurants if you forget to pack a picnic, but the beach is unmarred by commercial business and very little traffic will interrupt your serenity. The only sound breaking the silence is the crashing of world-class waves on golden sands… or the howler monkeys!
Avellanas is perfect for long strolls on the beach and horseback riding. Come and explore the National Parks Guanacaste is so famous for. Do not miss a tour of the Las Baulas National Park at Playa Grande – you might spot the giant Leatherback Turtle that visit the beaches during nesting season.
