Our surf lessons are held at Guiones Beach, just a short trip from Pelada Beach. While Pelada offers challenging waves for advanced surfers, Guiones boasts warm waters and friendly waves year-round — perfect for beginners and intermediates. The vibe here is laid-back, distinct from bustling spots like Jaco.
