A large tree known as “El Almendro” serves as the reference point for the preferred sand bar where good waves break. The beach is 6 miles long and arrow straight with surf pummeling ashore along its whole length. Playa Hermosa Hermosa is definitely a renowned beach where is the setting for an international surfing championship each August. Its best feature is the constant right beach break that is better when the tide is high.

There are all kind of accommodations and restaurants available in this area. Another good option to stay is Jaco, main tourist city from the Central Pacific coast.
