Pavones Beach, Costa Rica

Despite a good break near Zancudo Beach, all the surfers boogie down to Pavones for its famous long break, especially in the green season when it is its zenith.
Hailed the world´s longest rideable left point break, Pavones is a legendary destination for surfing. It takes around 1.8m of swell to get this wave cranking, but when surf´s up, you are in for long, long ride - so long, in fact, that it´s much easier to walk back through town to where the wave is breaking that to paddle back. The swells are most consistent during the rain y season, but you are likely to find surfers here year-around.
Other than surfing, nothing much goes on here; however, the surroundings rainforest are quite nice, and the beaches feature some rocky coves and ponts that give Pavones a bit more visual appeal than Zancudo.
You can go for a horse back rideor hike into the rainforest taht back up this beach townor stroll south on the beaches that stretch toward Punta Banco and beyond, all the way to the Panamanian Border.
This is a forgotten and isolated destination catering almost exclsuively to backpackers. So be prepare, Pavones is a tiny village with few amenities, and most of the accommodations arequit basic.
