Surf Vacations in Costa Rica!

Learn to surf like a pro in Costa Rica!

Warm tropical water, world-class waves, friendly and fun atmosphere, and international language experience – all of this and more at the Del Mar Surfing Academy. Located within  Costa Rica’s Central and North Pacific Coast  at  Jaco, Esterillo and Santa Teresa beaches, the academy offers safe and memorable vacations for kids, teens (up to age 19) and families while promoting healthy and active lifestyles via the sport of surfing. 

Kids and teens get to meet other like-minded athletic individuals from many different countries, experience the joy of surfing in the tropical ocean, hike through the jungle to waterfalls, and learn new skills like Spanish language and the art of Afro-Brazilian martial arts, Capoeira. The camp promises a true adventure vacation with memorable new life experiences and stories, plus you get to return home with a newfound ability and new friends from all over the world. And what could be better than having some of your surf instructors be pro surfers from the Costa Rican National Surfing Team!

Parents also get a vacation of their own! Surfing, stand-up paddling, mountain biking, yoga or fitness packages are all available.

Camps last one to two weeks (7 or 14 days). What’s included? All meals, all ground transportation in Costa Rica, accommodations, daily surf lessons, weekly surf contest, surf video analysis, daily Spanish conversation practice, other adventure/nature tours, daily fitness in other activities, and social activities.

Del Mar Surfing Academy  was founded in 2010 by two women surfers, Maria del Mar and Bettina Del Rio, as a sister company to Del Mar Surf Camp, which has been providing adults with top-notch surfing vacations for 9 years.

Another option for families looking for a cool spring break or summer vacation is the Del Mar Surf Camp’s Family Package vacations. These surfing vacations last 5 or 7 nights and are available at either their  Hermosa beach location on the Central Pacific Coast, or their Nosara Beach  location on the Northern Pacific Coast in the Guanacaste area.
