What I like in a beach

No high-rises, no trash, no crowds...just a long expanse of sand and sets of waves for surfing or swimming. Was fortunate to get to go to this beach on multiple days and plan on returning some day.

Surf is king (and queen) here

Really enjoyed our trip to Santa Teresa. What can you say about a beautiful place with beautiful people and animals everywhere? Traveling the main road can be tricky as everyone gets around on 4 wheelers, motorcycles, bicycles, feet and, of course, cars/trucks. (Friendly) dogs everywhere,...More

For surfers

Santa Teresa is a small town and there is not a lot to do besides surfing. It is hard to enjoy the beach if you don't surf as the waves are to strong to swim. You can still go in the water, but with the...More

Looking to travel towards the end of October. Is it too rainy then? Difficult to drive? Are the businesses and restaurants open?

October is really not the best time to go. Yes a lot of rain, and sometimes the roads are washed out from the heavy rain. The business are not all open since it is low season.
