Boca Barranca

 
Overview

Barranca is a district of Costa Rica that is part of the canton of Puntarenas, in the province of the same name with a mesmerizing beach to fun and explore.

Description

About 12km south of Puntarenas is – according to some – the third-longest left-hand surf break in the world. Conditions here are best in larger swells, at low to mid-tide; it's possible to surf here year-round. There are no services; be sure that you’re confident in the water and seek local advice (on everything from pollution to crocs) before hitting the break.
