Buying a Home in Playa Negra

Playa Negra suits buyers who put the surf and a quiet, low-density setting first. The beach has several quality breaks with clean, consistent waves for beginners and advanced surfers, and daily life here revolves around surfing, yoga, trail running, horseback riding and nature walks.

Roads are mostly gravel, with some paved routes toward the coastal towns, so test the drive to the properties you like. Dining, shopping and larger services are in nearby Avellanas, Junquillal and Tamarindo, and several schools, including CRIA, La Paz, Educarte and Journey, offer bus service to Playa Negra.
