Welcome to Playa Avellanas
Tucked along Costa Rica’s Guanacaste coast, Playa Avellanas is a laid-back surf town where howler monkeys wake you up before your alarm and sunsets are a daily event. The beach itself stretches for miles—soft sand, warm water, and world-class waves that draw surfers from around the globe. Beginners and pros alike will find a break that suits them.
Just steps from the sand, you’ll find Lola’s, the iconic beachfront restaurant famous for wood-fired pizzas, fresh ceviche, and ice-cold cocktails served under shady almond trees. A handful of other local spots—Gregorio’s, Cabinas Las Olas, and a few hidden gems—offer everything from Tico casados to fresh-caught fish tacos.
The vibe here is intentionally quiet. No high-rises, no traffic lights, no crowds. Dirt roads wind through dry tropical forest where you’ll spot iguanas, parrots, and the occasional troop of monkeys overhead. For more action, the surf town of Tamarindo is a 20-minute drive, with grocery stores, nightlife, and ATMs. Playa Negra and Playa Junquillal are nearby for day trips.
Liberia International Airport (LIR) is about 75 minutes away. A 4WD vehicle is recommended, especially in green season (May–November), when the dirt roads can get muddy.
Come for the surf, stay for the pura vida.

Getting Here
The closest airport is Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia (LIR), about 1 hour 15 minutes away by car. San José’s main airport (SJO) is roughly 4.5 hours by car. Private shuttles, shared shuttles (Tamarindo Shuttle, Interbus), and rental cars are all easy to arrange in advance.
Rental Car Recommended
A 4WD or high-clearance SUV is strongly recommended. The final stretch of road into Avellanas is unpaved, with potholes and a few river crossings that can flood during green season (May–November). Standard sedans can struggle, especially after rain.
Taxis & Rideshare
Uber and DiDi don’t reliably operate in Avellanas. Local taxis are available but should be arranged ahead of time—your host or Lola’s staff can usually call one for you. Expect to pay around $25–35 USD for a ride to Tamarindo.
Getting to the Beach
The beach is a short walk from the property (I’ll fill in the exact distance). Bring sandals you don’t mind getting sandy.
Nearby Trips
• Tamarindo: 20–25 minutes by car (groceries, ATMs, nightlife, restaurants)
• Playa Negra: 10 minutes south (great surf, Café Playa Negra)

• Rincón de la Vieja National Park: ~2 hours (volcano, hot springs, waterfalls)
Bikes & ATVs
ATV and bike rentals are available in town and are a fun way to explore the dirt roads and nearby beaches.
