Central Pacific Coast
 Boca Barranca ― A river mouth with a very long left, located 100 km of San Jose with excellent access, paved road. Many places to stay. Dark water during rainy season scares off many. Boca Barranca and any other nearby beach are no contaminated. Boca Barranca offers some of the best waves of the country.- Puerto Caldera ― This spot has very good left located 3 km south of Boca Barranca, Puntarenas.

- Playa Escondida ― Excellent point break that peaks up forming a very good left and a surfable right. Accessible by land if you are a member of the beach club (fresh water shower on the beach for member and guests), or by taxi boat to the south cove. You can rent a boat from playa Jaco or playa Herradura.
- Playa Jaco ― Can be a good beach break when the surf is not too big. It tends to close out when it gets over 5 feet. Playa Jaco is approximately 2 hours from San Jose( 140 km), and the waves are not always dependable. One of its principal attractions is surfing because of its location and being so close to playa Hermosa, playa Escondida, and Boca Barranca, Puntarenas. Jaco has hotels, cabins and camp grounds.
- Roca Loca ― Located 1.5 km south of playa Jaco. A rocky point with rights that break over submerged rocks. To get the point, you will have to climb a small hill.
- Playa Hermosa and Others ― Very strong beach break. This long stretch of break peaks working any given day, but the preferred sand bar is located in front of a large tree known as the Almendro. The wave conditions are generally best when the tide is rising. Don’t forget the tip the kids who open the gate for your car.
