Information for Surfers:
Playa Negra offers an epic right-hand reef / point break. Very consistent, perfect and powerfull, known as one of the best breaks in Costa Rica. Playa Negra starts to really turn on when it's a couple feet overhead, and can hold almost triple overhead without closing out. Very playful and fun surfing when its around head high. Playa Negra can get crowded easily. Surfing is best during mid to high tide, because it gets a bit rocky and shallow on low.
