A Perfect Costa Rican Sunset for Travelers

As we’ve observed, Costa Rican government leaders are busy, but many others are taking advantage of the holiday to get out and about. If you’re lucky enough to be in the latter group, you can’t get much better than a scene like this one at Santa Teresa Beach on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula.

This photo captures the essence of a classic Costa Rican sunset, with a lone surfer silhouetted against a sky painted in hues of gold and orange. Santa Teresa, known for its pristine beaches and world-class surf breaks, draws expats, tourists, and locals looking to enjoy beautiful sunsets, waves, and nature.

Every evening, surfers gather along the shore to catch the last waves as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the ocean. For surfers and beach lovers alike, this golden hour is the highlight of the day. The calm rhythm of the waves, paired with the breathtaking colors of the sunset, creates a peaceful yet invigorating atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere.

For those who may not surf, Santa Teresa offers plenty to explore. From yoga studios to a vibrant food scene and a unique bohemian culture, this coastal gem has something for everyone. Despite its growing popularity, it still retains the laid-back, authentic Costa Rican charm that’s perfect for those seeking a true “pura vida” experience.

If you’re spending the holiday here, take a moment to soak in this unforgettable view. Santa Teresa, like Carrillo Beach nearby, showcases the best of Costa Rican nature—a beautiful sunset, beautiful waves, and the perfect escape for holiday-goers

Now that’s pura vida.
