Mal Pais lies at the southeastern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Puntarenas province. Although it is a small village and there are very little tourist attractions or services, hotels and dining options range from top notch to rustic though scenic beachfront views.

Mal Pais may be a very small town but it still has much to offer. It is considered a surfers paradise, providing consistent waves that are good for the beginner or the expert. A jungle follows the curvature of the beach and hammocks, provided by the bungalow hotels, are strung up between the palm trees. Mal Pais is also great for bird watchers as well as fishers.

Weather is great year round and the beach is usually uncrowded.

You can get there by car/taxi or by ferry, which is quite a lovely boat ride itself.

Well, we went across the bay to the tip of Nicoya, a surfer beach called Mal Pais, which is tough to get too, but we are here.  Things are totally different, there is a laid back attitude with the presence of the drugs on the fringe, but unlike Jaco, there is nothing in your face that you don't want.  I'm writing this from the town's only internet cafe, have no cell coverage, and have bought my snacks at the towns only grocery store.  It's really great.  The waves are big ...

Malpais is a small fishing village know for good surfing. We spent one day here walking the beaches before we moved on Montezuma which is 20 minutes away.

Probably the most unexpected of all my trips. Booked this one a week before I arrived and had absolutely no plans when I arrived. As spontaneous as this trip was, the nature, new friends, and the spectacular scenery made it completely worthwhile :)
