Waves at Hotel Aguas Claras
Puerto Viejo is a small surf town on Costa Ricaโs Caribbean Coastline, known for black sand beaches, crystal clear waters, reggae music, and a laid-back vibe. The surf season in Puerto Viejo goes only from December to March, with another short season from June to August.
The right-hander reef break of Salsa Brava, aka the Costa Rican Backdoor, is the most powerful surf spot in the area, and it is known as a world-class barreling wave for experienced surfers only.
