Ginger-brown sand that glows in the sunshine and stretches far into the shallow, warm pacific water makes up Playa Negra, one of Costa Rica's most celebrated beaches. Famous as a surfer's paradise, with one of the best breaks in the country, this idyllic spot featured as a set in the film 'Endless Summer' and there are villas for rent almost directly on the beach, so you can run out and get started first thing every morning.
