Playa Grande is located just to the north of Playa Tamarindo and is part of the Las Baulas National Park which is known for the giant Leatherback Turtles that nest there. Playa Grande is also known as one of the most consistent surf spots in Guanacaste with ridable waves every single day of the year. It's a nice sandy bottom wave which is perfect for surfers looking to graduate from the beginner waves in Tamarindo. 

Playa Grande is the most westerly point of Costa Rica and received the brunt of any S / SSW  or SW swell. When Tamarindo is knee - waist high and perfect for beginners, Playa Grande can be head high and barreling. The more southerly orientation is what allows Playa Grande to pick up more swell. There is a small rock outcropping 200 meters off the coast that refracts the waves to give them more shape when they hit the beach. 

Playa Grande is a wide beach with multiple peaks, although there is one zone that is clearly the best and most crowded. If you move just slightly north or south of this "locals' zone", you'll find slightly smaller waves but hardly any people.
