· Santa Teresa Real Estate·
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica is all about surfing. From beachside hammock hotels catering to backpacking surfers, to wealthy California surfers living the good life, Santa Teresa has them all. If you're coming to Santa Teresa, chances are you're here to surf or at least enjoy the waves.
Unlike the Malpais beaches south of the crossroads, Santa Teresa has mostly white sand beaches, with great beach breaks almost everywhere. There's also a world-class point break called "Suck Rock", which occasionally gets ridable waves up to 20-30 feet high.
Santa Teresa's foreign population is very international, with beach lovers from all over, and it shows in the culture. There are many amazing restaurants, and a few world class boutique hotels in the area. Movie stars and other celebrities are frequently spotted walking along Santa Teresa's beaches.
Tropisphere also features many fabulous ocean view properties available in the hills of Mal Pais, Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa and Manzanillo.
