City setup
Costa Rica
Santa Teresa and Mal Pais are the same stretch of coast; the split is informal and mainly depends on where the accommodation is. The surf is more accessible than Nosara — multiple beach breaks across tide windows — but the main dirt road generates constant dust and noise year-round. The café and coworking scene has grown enough that a 3-month stay works without constant logistics friction.
SurfBest months: Dec – Apr (dry season)

About this data
Place data is sourced from OpenStreetMap via Overpass API. Confidence signals are derived from venue category, proximity, and available tags — not from direct verification. Wi-Fi, noise, and work comfort ratings marked as “unknown” or “not verified” have not been tested. Results may be incomplete in less-mapped cities.
