Costa Rica

When we began planning this trip in August, I did a fair amount of research on the Internet. Some Costa Rica sites I found weren't very helpful, others provided a great deal of information. Here is a list of the best ones I found: Costa Rica Surfing Travel Guide -- Excellent surfing site. Has surf spot reviews, directions and more for both coasts! Surfing In Costa Rica -- This gives some basic information on surfing, but it's more an advertisement for hotels, airlines and rental cars. It's good in that it provides rental rates. Helpful in planning your trip. U.S. Embassy -- Good information about traveling in Costa Rica from an American point of view. Some scary stuff about Dengue fever and prostitution, but some excellent tips. Costa Rica! -- This is a commercial site, but it has useful stuff. Tide charts, business opportunities, surfing and bungee jumping are just a few of the tidbits you'll find. Tamarindo dot com -- A different look at this town than mine. Hotel El Milagro -- Where to stay in Tamarindo. Their web site has an on line reservation form. Iguana Surf -- This place bills itself as the largest aquatic adventure center in Costa Rica. Don't know if that's true, but it's certainly the largest one we saw. They've got a good selection of long and short boards to rent, swim suits, wax, ding repair kits, clothes and more. Basically, this is an American-style surf shop. Plus, it's a great place to cool off in the heat of the day. |
