Surf: The 6km long Playa Naranjo is another world-class wave, facing a huge rock called Roca Bruja meaning Witches Rock, which was deposited in the sea by an angry volcano 50k’s away. Ultra-fast, zippy walls streak down the sand, offering ample crystalline tubes and good length of ride. Needs higher tides to prevent the close-outs and some S in the swell. Most surfers coagulate just south of the rivermouth, where the sandbars pile up, but there are always more peaks to the south. North of the rivermouth is usually smaller. The only effective way to reach these spots is by boat from Playa del Coco (where there is an inconsistent left) or by 4X4 in the dry season, but like most national parks, there’s no accommodation so camping is the only possibility. Environment: Crowds have grown massively in recent years. Hazards include saltwater crocodiles around the rivermouths.
