Roca Bruja

Witch Rock, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Hardcore surfers and those in quest of Endless Summer see an icon in “Witch’s Rock.” Legend says a sorceress used to inhabit the stone formation and maybe it’s black magic that makes the ride so great for surfers at all skill levels. Getting there is not half the fun; hire a guide and maybe pitch a tent in Playa Tamarindo or Playa Grande, then make your way to the witch near Playa Naranjo in Santa Rosa National Park. But you’ll get it once you’re there. Active year-round.
