Frequently asked questions
About Santa Teresa
Located on the Nicoya Peninsula, Santa Teresa is a laid-back beach town known for its stunning sunsets, world-class surfing, and vibrant arts scene. The local currency is the Costa Rican colĂłn, but US dollars are widely accepted. The town offers a mix of boutique hotels, eco-friendly lodges, and beachfront villas, catering to all types of travelers. Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood at beachside restaurants and explore the nearby Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve for a glimpse of Costa Rica's diverse wildlife.
When to visit
The best time to visit Santa Teresa is during the dry season from December to April when the weather is sunny and the waves are perfect for surfing. The rainy season from May to November brings lush green landscapes but also frequent afternoon showers. The shoulder months of November and May offer a good balance of fewer crowds and decent weather.
Getting around
Getting around Santa Teresa is easy with rental cars, ATVs, and bicycles available for hire. The town is walkable, but many attractions like waterfalls and remote beaches require a vehicle. Taxis and shuttle services are also convenient options for exploring the surrounding areas. Be prepared for bumpy dirt roads and limited signage in some parts of town.
Traveller tips
Pack light, breathable clothing for the hot and humid weather in Santa Teresa. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen to protect against the strong tropical sun. Learn some basic Spanish phrases to communicate with locals, although many speak English. Keep an eye on your belongings at the beach and avoid leaving valuables unattended. Embrace the pura vida lifestyle and take time to relax and unwind in this laid-back beach town.
