Surfing Hermosa/Bejuco

Hermosa boasts one of the best beach breaks in Costa Rica. Here you’ll find a consistent year-round surf with over 3 ½ miles of steep beaches with excellent exposure to swells from almost any direction-- with world class waves reaching as high as 13 feet. At the award-winning beach in Bejuco you’ll encounter more super-hollow waves! Although extremely popular, this area has so many peaks up and down the beach that you are likely to find an uncrowded, head high peak at almost any time of year.

Playa Hermosa holds the International Quicksilver Surf Championships every year in August that brings hundreds of expert surfers here from all over the globe. Besides the world-famous “El Almendro” (Almond Tree) break, you’ll also get to know the popular T-Land, Pig Farm, RioTulin, and Back Yard breaks.

The best time to surf in Playa Hermosa is from April to November, when the tide is high and rising.
