Once a sandy beach town and world-class surfing destination, Playa Negra is proudly still a sandy beach town and a world-class surfing destination! While the famed surf film, Endless Summer II, put Playa Negra on the map in 1994, the town has since managed to hold tight to its chill vibes, epic waves, and off-the-beaten-path ambiance, complete with rustic charm, pura vida attitudes, and a [mostly] sandals-and-swimsuit dress code.  

Here, amidst renowned surf, dark sands, and golden sun, Playa Negra invites intrepid investors, families, retirees, and others to revel in a taste of the “old” Costa Rica – in an authentic beach town where you can wake to hooting howler monkeys, walk almost anywhere, and still get in on the ground floor for development, at an affordable price.  

Prices start around $65,000 for building lots and homesites and $350,000 for single-family homes and villas. A growing luxury market starts at around $750,000.
