Sarah came here on her own. She knows what it feels like to land somewhere you don't know anyone, where to go or what to do.
Meeting people
People are very friendly in the surf and it is easy to make friends out there.
Sarah recommends joining a surf lesson, a movement class or a community class that catches your eye. It is a great way to meet other travellers and locals too.
The real magic of this town is meeting people who are Costa Rican and getting the chance to know them and their Santa Teresa.
Places to sit and connect
There are many places across town with an inviting, shared feel. Work spots like El Patio and Namore invite a lot of conversation and openness to connect.
Hostels like Lost Boyz run planned activities and events throughout the week.
Getting around
You can rent a scooter, bicycle, quad, 4x4 or car. A quad or 4x4 lets you visit the most places. Scooters can be tough on the unpaved roads and the really big hills.
Coming on one of our weeks
Signature is women only. Essentials is open to everyone. On every trip we take safety and respect for women very seriously and do not condone any behaviour that makes anyone feel uncomfortable.
Sarah is a space holder, with years of practice as a yoga and Pilates teacher and as a social worker. Most people come on their own and make friends instantly.
Come surf with us in Santa Teresa.
