I want to take a senior trip to Costa Rica for a month?
Two of my friends and I want to take our senior trip to Costa Rica. Both of them have been on trips there before, but only for a week and with their families. We all surf and are looking forward to the new culture. I would be flying out of Norfolk International. We want to live on a relativly small budget(no expensive hotels or meals). I heard somewhere that in places you are allowed to pitch tents on the beach for free. Is this true? I love to eat and would eat 2-3 meals a day with some snacks thrown in. What should we plan on spending without airfare? Any help is much appreciated
Sean is correct, you cant camp in many places, and I would be a little concerned about security.
You can rent a dump VERY cheaply…. it would be hot, no A/C, etc… you get what you pay for… but at least you have a door to lock… and in many cases, it will still be ocean front. Your lodging could be as low as $600 for the month (total for all three of you, $200pp)
That being said, when I go to Pavones, I always see a few brave people camping on the beach… so it can be done.
Personally, I would be miserable camping on the beach. After a full day of surfing, it is nice to be able to take a SHOWER, play some cards in my air conditioned room, and sleep in a comfortable bed. With air conditioning.
Three people should be able to get a very nice hotel for $1500/month ($500 each) so that really should be do-able.
For under $1,000.00 pp you should be able to easily eat for a month and stay in descent lodging.
With surfboards you probably would want to rent a SUV (unless you want to try a bus) which will cost another $500pp.
Also dont forget the airline will make you pay $50-$75 each direction for your surfboards.
Have FUN!

Where in Costa Rica should I go to surf this July?
Long, clean lines are a priority for me over intense barrels.
I've been to Hermosa & Mal Pais in the Spring & Dominical in October…
Where should I go in July? I loved Mal Pais in March / April but have read that in July it can get to be really huge, full of rip currents, and an even worse paddle out than it is at other times.
I could just go to Hermosa but I really want somewhere with longer lines. It would be nice to practice getting barreled, but I worry that in Hermosa, that's all there'll be.
Any advice?
… does anyone have advice that's actually useful?
I hate to break it to you, but there has been a major rebellion in CR. The insurgents are taking over surf spots at alarming rate. However, if you were to send me enough $$ for air fare (me & my quiver) to CR, and a small stipend for provisions, I would be willing to secure a safe beach head at any select location there. You may also have to front me $2 or $3K for arms and ammunition, and to pay a small cadre of local guerrillas. I would glady wire you when the situation is well in hand, but you might have to keep sending me money in the in between time.
