Transportation to Playa Negra Guanacaste
So named for the black sand and rocks on its beach, Playa Negra is a secluded and tranquil beach set in front of a charming little town. The wave here can be enormous and powerful and is more often than not beautifully formed for a heck of a ride down a barrel. It was made famous by the surf movie The Endless Summer 2.
Among the black rocks that decorate the beach, visitors will find tide pools where little fish, crabs and other sea life live and can easily be explored during low tide. At the south end, an area protected from the waves offshore makes a perfect place to swim in the warm ocean.
