The Papagayo Peninsula serves as the primary gateway to the legendary, world-class surf spots of Costa Rica's northwest coast, located within the protected Santa Rosa National Park. This is where you will find the mythical breaks of Witch's Rock (Roca Bruja) and Ollie's Point, accessible almost exclusively by boat charters departing from nearby areas like Playas del Coco. These are not beginner waves; they are powerful, fast, and often hollow barrels that attract experienced surfers from all over the globe, made famous by surf films for their pristine conditions and raw Pacific power. Surfing here is a pilgrimage, offering a remote, untamed experience against a stunning backdrop of protected wilderness.
