The best surf point is a few minutes' walk from Santa Teresa.
Santa Teresa basically consists of the main street parallel to the sea where you can find all the restaurants, bars, and surf shops.
And if you want just one day to relax under your personal palm tree, you can head to Mal País side, which offers a chill atmosphere, local fish market, and some secluded beach areas. This is also the place where the Cabo Blanco National Park starts and in case you are a nature-animal-hiking lover the park has some great options for you.

There is no better way to get immersed into a culture than by learning the language. Understanding local people and their unique expressions and ways of speaking can create a feeling of belonging.
