Surfing Lessons
 
This is our first post for a trip we are planning to Costa Rica next summer.

My two daughters (ages 13 and 16) would like to take surfing lessons for a few days during our visit. Can anyone recommend a particular beach/or area where that would be most feasible?

Thanks for any help.
Yours Aye,
Hakmat

If you are in the Osa Peninsula area, Pan Dulce Beach is great for beginners. Our kids (17 & 13) took lessons and surfed there and loved it!

Tamarindo has many surf schools and the area is busy with tourist and lots to do.
Nosara also has suf schools and is not so busy with less to do.
