Hermosa

 
Overview

Playa Hermosa, located in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica, is a popular beach and beach-front resort town. People who visit Playa Hermosa can indulge in swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving, sport fishing, or sailing.

Description

Regarded as one of the most consistent and powerful breaks in the whole country, Hermosa serves up serious surf that commands the utmost respect. You really need to know what you’re doing in these parts – huge waves and strong riptides are unforgiving, and countless surfboards here have wound up broken and strewn about on the shoreline. Unless you're a hardcore surfer, it's best to stick to gentler breaks near Jacó, but there's nothing to stop you from coming up here and watching the action.
