Beautiful beach right across from the villas. Tide pools, not a lot of people, beautiful water, and close to the villas.

A fishing trip can be arranged out of the Marina in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa. Our favorite guide is Javier, who is friendly and professional and usually knows where the fish are biting that day. Even if the fishing isn't great, the scenery is beautiful and Javier pointed out whales one day as well as sea turtles swimming nearby. And the view of the coastline and Cabo Blanco is spectacular from the water.

Mal Pais is a small tranquil neighborhood, loosely spread out along five kilometers of road. Its southern limit abuts the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve on the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, while to the north it runs into Santa Teresa. Here, at the road intersection of “El Cruze”, the road from Cobano ends on the beach of Playa Carmen. Across from the intersection the busy beach town of Santa Teresa sprawls to the north, with a lively surfer scene, many hotels, bars, restaurants and shops. Many people refer to the entire beach area as Mal Pais, so when you hear of Mal Pais being one of the top tourist destinations in Costa Rica, it actually means the beaches of Santa Teresa and Playa Carmen. Mal Pais is a smaller, and much more tranquil neighborhood. While in recent years Santa Teresa has seen a boom in development, Mal Pais has retained its laid-back, small village atmosphere, with large patches of unspoiled nature.
