Whale Tail Hotel

Uvita is not known for world-class waves but for being an excellent place for beginner and intermediate surfers to develop their surfing abilities. There are consistent waves, with no crowds for most of the year, and safer than average ocean conditions for first-timers.

In general, from December to March, waves are small to medium size, and from April to November, there are medium to large waves.

Whale Tail is blessed to have many beaches ideal for surfing that range from places to learn to beginner-level intermediate and areas for intermediate and advanced. For people trying to surf for the first time, Playa Colonia is Ideal; only 2 miles from the hotel, this beach is located at the Famous Ballena National Park, where if you are lucky, the students can glimpse whales from the beach.

During the green season on this beach, the big waves season reaches its highest level. So, if you could, please get hold of this opportunity and take a surf trip with the pals!

The other famous surf break in Playa Hermosa, located 3 km north of Whale tail, means beautiful. It is a tropical beach with amazing scenery, bordered by a densely forested reef on the North side, Punta Achiote, and on the South end, by the mouth of the Morete River.

About the Whale Tail

Whale Tail is a rocky formation in the shape of a whale tail, marking the start of the Marino Ballena National Park in Bahia Ballena, our hometown. The tombolo formation is made when a spit connects the mainland coast to an island, collecting material at the coastline.

Like if that wasn't amazing enough, Bahia Ballena (Whale's Bay) coast is home every year to hundreds of migrating humpback whales that rest at this magical bay for months to reproduce, birth, and nurse their calves all along the Ballena Coast.
