No wonder Costa Rica is the land of Puravida. Here in the Central Pacific, everyone surfs. Surfing in Costa Rica is like a tradition - everyone has a surf board rack on their bike, car, etc. Here in Playa Hermosa, at Marea Brava hotel, we have access to pristine waves, 365 days a year. Playa hermosa is one of the most consistent waves in the world, and scoring every day is your mission! If you are looking to surf 7 days a week, rain or shine, then our hotel is for you. Located on the North end of Hermosa Beach, where the waves are best, Marea Brava Condos and Beach Front Hotel are the premier location for your surfing excursions in Costa Rica. Barelling tubular waves are the specialty here in Playa Hermosa.

If you're not intersted in surfing but want to have a great time anyway, the hotel down the beach has free surfing contests on Saturdays. There is $2 beer, wings, and lots more. And it's just steps away from Marea Brava Hotel. There is also a pizzeria, mini mart, and tons of restaurants here in Playa Hermosa. Low season rates for surfers are pretty good and you can get a great deal right here. See us online at www.mareabravacostarica.com

This October, surf in PLAYA HERMOSA! Marea Brava Beachfront hotel is running a special, you can see it here at www.mareabrava.com. The waves are pumping, and the weather is cooler than the dry season, when things can be hot and sunny all day. An hour or two of rain each day cools things off.

Last week in front of Marea Brava hotel there was a small surf contest, waves were about 6 feet and kept building during the day.

We hope you come visit us here in Playa Hermosa, the Hawaii of Central America. While you're here stay at Marea Brava beachfront Hotel and Suites, and enjoy your stay at local prices!

This photo shows the barelling lefts and rights found at Playa Hermosa. The black sand beach is hot but the water's a cool 79 degrees, great for a surf before you check into your hotel!

This past week we saw waves out front of Marea Brava Beachfront Hotel, that gave every surfer a reason to get out into the water! 

With overhead sets hitting on a full-moon tide, surfers like Gilbert Brown, Jairo Perez, Diego Naranjo and others put on a show of aerial maneuvers, deep barrel rides and lots of snaps and slashes.

Here at Marea Brava the action was heavy, a few surfers took advantage of the great break in front of the hotel and there were some deep barrels to be had.
