Welcome to Playa Grande Surf Camp
At the heart of a Costa Rican Nature Preserve, Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas de Guanacaste

Playa Grande Surf Camp is located in the northern Costa Rican province of Guanacaste and less than 100 meters from the beach of Playa Grande, which is a pristine stretch of white sand on the Pacific Ocean. Located near the town of Tamarindo, travelers have both options of either enjoying the relaxed setting in Playa Grande or checking out the more lively social scene that Tamarindo offers.

Playa Grande is the permanent nesting site for leatherback turtles. It provides a safe landing vital to the endangered leatherback turtle. Female leatherbacks come ashore during the nights in October to May to lay their eggs in the sand. They then cover the eggs and return to the ocean. The eco-friendly Costa Rican government has gone to great lengths to protect the habitat of these amazing animals. This has allowed Playa Grande to remain a sanctuary for both the turtles and surfers alike, and surfers from all over have christened Playa Grande as home of some of Costa Rica’s best waves.

We will welcome you in our three cabanas with A/C and two elevated cabanas with fan and balconies, complete with hammocks. Guests share three communal bathrooms. There is also a common kitchen and a barbecue for our guests to share, as well as a swimming pool, surfboards to rent. Nearby restaurants also offer computers for rent along with wireless internet and telephone services. There are three restaurants in the neighborhood within walking distance as well as a small supermarket. The tourist hub of Tamarindo - which has restaurants, groceries, shopping, art, crafts and more - is also within walking distance, with water taxis available to shuttle you across the mangrove estuary river during the daytime.

About The Surf Camp

It is our pleasure to make your stay at our camp as pleasant as possible. We wish to share our local knowledge and hospitality with you. PGSC is close to the beach and in a regional location that is rich with culture, nature, offshore winds and beach break waves.
