Pavones Costa Rica

South Africa has J-Bay, Europe has Hossegor & Mundaka and Costa Rica has Pavones.

The drive down the coast from Dominical is very picturesque and tropical. You immediately start to see fewer tourists and more greenery. Heading down to Pavones is a classic Costa Rica drive; you drive through forests, plantations, dodgy ferries and bridges. Pavones has the longest left in Costa Rica.

When the swell goes in the right direction, you can connect to different sections, for an 800 meters long ride. There are some fast and solid left breaking waves. When waves reach 4 feet high it becomes fun to ride.

The surroundings are exceptionally picturesque and I really recommend hiring a boat over to the peninsula de Osa. De Osa is the only indigenous forest left in Costa Rica on the pacific side. This is the place if you want to find macaws in the wild. On your way over you might be lucky to spot some whales and dolphins.

people say that when people died they go to heaven, that´s not true, they come to my paradise country COSTA RICA. Costa Rica is the only place where you can go to surf in the morning to the caribean coast, and in the afternoon to the pacific coast, is the only place where yo can go to surf in the morning and go to Cannopi mountain trip in the afternoon, everyone is welcome here, and we all the Costarricans speak inglish
