24 hours in Santa Teresa: The perfect surf camp day from sunrise to sunset

November 26, 2024

At Lapoint Costa Rica, every day offers a fresh mix of surf, relaxation, and connection. Here’s how you could spend a full 24 hours soaking up the never-ending good vibes.

Santa Teresa isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience. This stunning slice of Costa Rica is where endless waves meet vibrant jungle adventures, and every day offers the chance to create unforgettable memories. Ready to plan the perfect 24 hours? Let’s make it happen!

6:00 Paddle out in the sunrise waves

Start your day as Santa Teresa does—at sunrise when the waves call! The first surf lessons of the day kick off at 6:00, with another option at 9:00. Whether you’re an early bird or easing into the day, there’s nothing like sipping your coffee in the early morning, knowing your board is waiting for you.

You’ll spend two hours mastering your skills with expert instructors guiding you every step of the way. Stretch out beforehand to ensure your body is ready for the session—it’ll thank you later!


07:00 – 09:00 A good bite to eat and Costa Rican Coffee

Head to breakfast, served from 7:00 to 9:00, and fuel up with tropical fruits, smoothies, and other energizing eats. Depending on your surf schedule, you can either surf before breakfast during the early morning session or hit the waves after enjoying a laid-back meal and some of Costa Rica’s famous coffee. Either way, you’ll be starting your day on a high note!

09:00 – 12:00 Mid-morning, your way

After your surf session and breakfast, the rest of the morning is yours to enjoy. Kick back at the camp with a book by the pool, challenge your new surf buddies to a friendly game in the common area, or take a stroll into the vibrant streets of Santa Teresa.


12:00 Lunchtime

Indulge in the best of Santa Teresa’s flavors during lunch. Whether you stay at the camp to savor freshly prepared meals served daily from 12:00 to 14:00 or venture out to explore the town’s cozy coffee spots and vibrant eateries, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Think fresh seafood, tacos, exotic tropical flavors, and even familiar Western favorites.

13:30 Afternoon action = Every day is different

Our afternoons usually start off with a surf theory lesson or a video analysis where the instructors review your technique. After that, every afternoon brings something different to the table. 

Feeling the need to move? Join a Surf Workout to build strength and agility, or unwind with an afternoon Yoga session that stretches both your body and mind. Prefer to just let loose? A pool party might pop up, bringing music, sunshine, and one of the week's best camp vibes.

The beach clean-ups offer a rewarding way to give back to Santa Teresa’s stunning shoreline.


17:00 Golden hour vibes

As the sun sinks lower, it’s time for a final dose of Costa Rican magic. Whether it’s a quick stroll along the beach or finding a nice spot to watch the surfers with your mates, this is your moment to soak in the Costa Rican sunsets.

19:00 Dinner and downtime

Evenings are full of variety at Lapoint. Most nights, dinner is served at 19:00 with fresh, flavorful dishes and desserts. On other evenings, you’ll head out to explore Santa Teresa's vibrant dining scene. After dinner, the fun continues with a mix of activities. From movie nights and music quizzes to unforgettable party nights, there’s always something to bring everyone together.


And when adventure calls…

For those looking to mix up their day, consider one of the incredible full-day excursions: snorkeling at Tortuga Island, fishing at sunrise, or swimming with bioluminescence under the stars. These unique experiences are the cherry on top of your Costa Rican getaway.

At our camp in Costa Rica, every day offers new opportunities to connect with the waves, your fellow travelers, and the Pura Vida lifestyle. The only thing missing? You!
