Lolita the surfing pig at Playa Avellana

Lolita, the porky mascot for Playa Avellana in Guanacaste, scarfs down a late lunch in her beachside pigpen. When she's not out surfing, the 5-year-old pig stays full by munching on leftovers from the nearby Lola's restaurant, named after her mom. (Michael Krumholtz/Tico Times)
