Rapture Surf Camp Playa Avellanas












About this camp
Overview
Nestled in the heart of the jungle at possibly the best surf spot on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast, Rapture Surf Camp offers an unforgettable tropical surf experience where pristine nature meets perfect waves. Just a 10-minute walk through beautiful mangrove forest brings you to wide sandy beaches with turquoise water and no tourists. With over 15 years of history and more than 12,000 surfers taught, Rapture has perfected the art of surf camp hospitality in this slice of paradise.
Accommodation
Choose from freshly renovated rooms designed to suit every budget and travel style. Couples can enjoy private suites with king-size beds and balconies overlooking lush tropical gardens, while social travelers thrive in shared bunk rooms that foster instant friendships. All rooms feature big windows, air conditioning, and mosquito nets for comfort in the jungle setting. Relax poolside between sessions, enjoy delicious daily breakfast and dinners, and let the rhythm of the waves become your daily soundtrack.
Surf
Experience world-class waves at five different surf breaks, all surfable at various tides and suitable for every level. Local guides who know every break by heart lead daily surf lessons and free surf guiding sessions, using new epoxy and fiberglass boards in all shapes and sizes. The warm 27°C water means no wetsuit needed year-round. Weekly video analysis sessions help you progress faster, while surf theory classes provide the knowledge foundation. From gentle waves perfect for beginners to challenging breaks for advanced surfers, Playa Avellanas delivers the true Costa Rican surf experience.
