Pavones Point
When nature meets luxury
The surf
Pavones is one of Costa Rica’s most untouched surf towns as this is more remote than the typical surfing destinations in the country. Pavones is also arguably Costa Rica’s overall best surf spot. When conditions align, this incredibly long and beautiful left-hand wave is known for being one of the longest waves on the planet.
On a good south-southwest swell, Pavones becomes this unique wave providing over a few hundred meters long rides. Even when conditions are not perfect and the different peaks don’t connect, Pavones is still a really fun place to surf. There are also a few other spots nearby.
The best time to surf Pavones, Costa Rica, is from April to October when swells are bigger and more consistent. However, it is totally possible to surf Pavones all year long as Costa Rica receives decent waves throughout the year.
