Involved in the Adaptive Surf Association, Snapper Surf School also offers inclusive, focused and accessible surf experiences and lessons for those with special needs. All of our instructors are dedicated to your safety in the ocean and making sure you have a good time with our spirit of Pura Vida.
The Perfect Location: Playa Avellanas
Our surf lessons are based in Playa Avellanas within the Santa Cruz area of the Guanacaste region. This stretch of beach boasts a variety of different waves types for all levels of surfers making it a perfect starting point. The beachbreak peaks can be punchy and fun for those looking for lips to hit and tubes to sneak into, while also offering softer inside rollers for beginners that are just learning.
Challenges for Experienced Surfers
For more experienced surfers, there are also river mouths, points, reefs and more challenging beach breaks nearby that provide solid waves, especially when the swell is up.
Flexible Access to the Waves
Most waves are accessible by car, but we can also charter boats to more remote and legendary surf spots in Guanacaste.
