Costa Rica

The Surf Camp

Located in lush Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa, Outer Reef Costa Rica is a welcoming base for surfers and adventurers alike, set just a short walk from world class waves in one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant surf regions.

With consistent warm water surf available year round, the camp blends tropical beauty, community energy and the relaxed “pura vida” spirit that defines the area. Whether you’re catching your first wave or progressing your skills, Santa Teresa offers an inviting mix of surf, nature and cultural charm that makes every stay feel like a true Costa Rican adventure.

Life at Outer Reef Costa Rica is shaped by surfing, nature and the easy rhythm of pura vida. Located within walking distance of Playa Hermosa, the camp offers a relaxed balance of surf sessions, shared meals and time to unwind in a tropical setting.

Days often begin with breakfast and a surf session, followed by time to rest, explore or join yoga and other activities. Evenings are social but unforced, with shared dinners, sunsets on the beach and space to connect with other travellers. Santa Teresa’s welcoming atmosphere and strong surf culture make it easy to settle in and feel part of the community.

Food is an important part of camp life. Meals are freshly prepared using local ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Breakfast is served daily, dinners are shared on selected evenings, and lunch is available from the a la carte menu.
