Surfs Up
By Paul De Barros
If you like surfing you will truly love and
I mean L.O.V.E. Mal Pais, Costa Rica.
Perched on the southwestern tip of the
Nicoya Peninsula, this idyllic surf spot
pulls wave seekers from across the globe.
And even if riding waves isn’t your thing, a
relaxed atmosphere and soft sandy beaches
can make anybody smile. A great place for
sun-bathing, beach walking, and dining &
drinking, you can sit back and watch it all.
Here a wide dirt road forms the downtown
highway, small local shops and tasty
restaurants - the crowded skyline, and rush
hour traffic is comprised by bicycles and
ATVs.
Finding the right place to stay is easy:
Look for the Mal Pais Surf Camp and Resort,
situated 500 meters from Franks Place (the
downtown corner).
www.malpaissurfcamp.com. A one of a kind
resort where any and all types of travelers
can find comfortable accommodations.
For those budget travelers, backpackers and
groups can lounge in the spacious ranchos.
Large, breezy room which sleeps 6 at a low
price - $45 for 4 people. For couples, the
cozy cabinas are a nice option and at $35 a
night you cant go wrong.
The poolside Villa is an elegant choice for
a romancing couple or a family traveling,
there are two double beds and a single bed -
$95 per night. Larger groups can also
reserve the roomy apartments, complete with
a full kitchen.
The surf camp is more of a sprawling resort,
complete with a refreshing pool, lounge
chairs, massage parlor, campground, full
restaurant and the bar where surf movies
will be playing all day.
When you feel inspired this is the place to
try your hand at riding the waves. The
resort offers board rentals and lessons at
some of the best prices in town.
Mal Pais is a laid-back, surfer and
traveler’s paradise and if you’re visiting
Costa Rica, this has to be one of your top
destinations.
