Playa Negra, located in Limon, is a beach that offers a unique experience for surfers. The beach itself features black sand and stretches for miles, providing a scenic backdrop for your surf sessions. It's not overly crowded, which allows for a more laid-back vibe. Although more known for its national park and natural beauty, Playa Negra can hold its own when the conditions are right for surfing.

The surf at Playa Negra is mostly beginner-friendly, with waves that roll in courtesy of the NorthEast swell. You'll find that it handles swell sizes starting at 1ft (0.3m) and can get better as the swell picks up. The beach break offers both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of different styles. The best surfing happens during the low to high tides, and for optimal conditions, a SouthWest wind direction works well.

For those looking to escape the usual surf crowd, heading a bit north along the black sand beach can lead to more uncrowded spots. Just be mindful of the occasional sharp reef patches, and enjoy what Playa Negra has to offer for surfers of all levels!
