## Spots in Golfo De Nicoya

- [Playa Hermosa](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-hermosa-golfo-de-nicoya): Golfo De Nicoya; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Long black-sand beach south of Jacó, known for its power — it can be intimidating on double-overhead close-out days.

- [Playa Caletas](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-caletas): Golfo De Nicoya; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Deserted beachbreak running down to a large river mouth, continuing on toward Playa Ario. Works on small swells at mid tide, with a right reef on the northern headland at high tide.
- [Playa Carmen](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-carmen): Golfo De Nicoya; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Beach suited to improvers and intermediates at all tides, with a reef at the north end that's good at high tide. In dry season, NW swell produces fatter, longer rights and shorter, steeper lefts.
- [Esterillos Oeste](https://yosurf.app/spot/esterillos-oeste): Golfo De Nicoya; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; South-facing Esterillos Oeste is a long sandy stretch with a few lava reefs offshore and a slow right called La Sirena.
