Costa Rica beginner surfing and nice beaches
was looking on transworldsurf.com and trying to find both a beautiful beach destination (more for the fiance) and a place with hopefully a beginner friendly break that I can play on. We are looking at Tamarindo, Dominical, and outside CR at Zihuatanejo, Rincon, PR, and a bit open to ideas, but latin america and mex is definitely more in our price range, considering Hawaii, but thinking that may be too many tourists for our liking. Anyone have some direction for this trip in Late April?
Much appreciated

You may want to look into the Mal Pais/Santa Teresa area of Costa Rica. Am going there for the first time in May but I do know it's a big surfer spot. Relatively easy to get to and prices for hotels are pretty decent.
Here are some links with info about the area: http://www.malpais.net/ and http://www.nicoyapeninsula.com/malpais/
How long were you looking at traveling for?

Just saw this, as it has slipped down the board a ways. Jaco is supposed to have good surfing. When I was there last August it had nice waves, and great black sandy beaches. I've heard of people running into trouble there, but I never had any problems. Had a great time.

Dominical is not for you if you are a beginner! Malpais and Jaco are good locations for people that start to surf.
The times I was in Samara there were no waves at all. I saw a surf school in town and was wondering where you could surf there.
