Whether you are a surfing neophyte or an advanced master of the waves, Witch’s Rock Surf Camp promises a memorable and exciting surfing vacation that places the emphasis directly on the sport. Based in Costa Rica , Witch’s Rock Surf Camp offers comfortable near the water along with several other additions to the package that are sure to make your surfing vacation an excellent one.

The boutique surf resort is located on the oceanfront of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, a beautiful community with friendly people that treat everyone like family. Its origins are humble, the modest dream of some Californians looking for a simpler life. They drove an old school bus all the way down to Costa Rica in search of waves and warm water, ended up stopping in Tamarindo, opened a beach bar, and began to teach surf lessons. The Witch’s Rock Surf Camp evolved soon thereafter and since has been the destination for over 10,000 guests.

As far as accommodations go, the Witch’s Rock Surf Camp does not skimp on comfort. Tastefully decorated rooms with soft mattresses on the beds and a view of the water – and the waves – assure that you will be relaxing peacefully after a long day of surfing. As part of your vacation, you can opt to be part of the surf school, which is held right in front of the hotel at Playa Tamarindo.

The surf tours are aimed towards advanced surfers, and offer convenience, excitement, and fun. Because of the hassle involved in flying with surfboards, what with damage and handling fees, Witch’s Rock Surf Camp offers all-inclusive surf tours, on which you are encouraged to use one of their surfboards. Surfers are taken to all of the locations in vans, so there is no need for rental cars and no way to get lost. As experienced surfers who know the area well, the guides will direct you to the best waves possible, making sure that you do not have to spend a day looking for something that is worth your time. And they assure that you will not be lost in the shuffle, as only four surfers are allowed on each tour.
