Barrigona - Costa Rica
Barrigona features a point break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being fast, powerful, and fun, particularly during mid tide with a rising tide. Strong currents can be present, making it essential for surfers to be cautious of rips and undertow.
Nestled in a stunning natural setting, Barrigona is a hidden gem that remains uncrowded, even on weekends. Accessible via dirt roads requiring a 4WD, the beach is located near the village of Esterones. Visitors can park near the river mouth, but should avoid leaving valuables in their vehicles. The beach offers a serene atmosphere, with clear blue waters and a backdrop of lush jungle. Nearby, Playa Buenavista provides accommodation options, and the beach can be reached on foot during low tide. With minimal crowds and a picturesque environment, Barrigona is perfect for those seeking a tranquil surf experience.
