Playa Herradura, Costa Rica, Central Pacific Coast (Puntarenas Province)

Playa Herradura, Costa Rica is a protected cove with a large tourism development and marina adjacent to the beach.  On the southern tip of the bay sits Isla Herradura, just off the coast.  A good rocky left point wave breaks along it’s shores that can hold very large swells.  You can paddle the long distance to the break, or take a boat out to the lineup.

Playa Herradura is one of the best ways to reach Playa Escondida, a peaky, hollow reef break that breaks left and right, but is only accessible by boat, or if you know someone that lives in the private development that fronts the break.
