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.

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.

For beginners I suggest Playa Samara ,there two good surf school and are not expensive.
I took lessons there and wos very fine.
for me playa Samara it's one the best beaches in C.R.

Happened across the above website that has interesting week or longer getaways for learning how to surf AND . . . (surfing and spanish lessons, or surfing and photography, etc). Anyone actually have experience w/ this?
