Santa Teresa

A village turned coastal destination.

Santa Teresa is a small coastal village on the southern tip of Costa Rica's westernmost peninsula. What started as a remote fishing village is now a premier travel destination, drawing surfers and travelers to its scenic beaches and tropical forests. Recently the town has seen rapid growth in restaurants, venues, and hotels.

La Lora Beach

One of the world's most breathtaking beaches.

La Lora Beach is picture-perfect white sand — Forbes magazine voted the beaches here among the Top 10 Most Breathtaking in the world. On the north end is a rock jetty and an epic point break known as Roca Mar. There's also Beach Break: consistent waves over hundreds of meters of white sand with lefts and rights, no rocks. The wave shape is often very good, and surf competitions are held here.
