Weddings
Montezuma is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and so many couples come here to get married. Usually the ceremonies are smaller than they would be at home… easier to manage and with just the best friends and family. There are many good locations for the ceremony, and excellent options for food, […]
Rio Lajas Rivermouth – Los Reyes
The Rio Lajas Rivermouth is yet another super amazing epic beach spot to hang out at. It has a clean river with many pools to swim in, a ton of interesting water birds for birdwatching enthusiasts, a surf spot, and a long beach with almost no one on it. How to find it It’s […]
Playa Cocolito
Playa Cocolito is probably the most deserted beach in the entire Montezuma/Malpais/Santa Teresa area. It’s inaccessible by car, and so the only way to get there is to hike in. Tourists come here for two reasons… first because it’s an amazingly beautiful hike and for those who want to go farther than Playa Grande it’s […]
Cabuya Island
Cabuya Island is one of those magical spots that most people see, but few people actually take the time to walk out to. It’s a place of fear, legend, rumor, and excitement, supposedly haunted by ghosts at night, due to the fact that it’s been a cemetery for as long as anyone can remember. Supposedly, […]
Playa Cabuya
In Cabuya is one of the best beaches on the Peninsula, despite the fact that many people who visit or live in the area think that Cabuya’s beaches aren’t all that great. While it’s true that much of Cabuya is dark sand, rocks, or even seems muddy, as you can see, this beach is gorgeous. […]
Studio Los Almendros
Estudio Los Almendros is a beach bungalow rental place with a dance studio and learning center, on the beach south of Montezuma. Owner Ninoska Gomez, originally from Venezuela, built it many years ago, and has used the studio to attract many amazing dancers and dance teachers, especially through her “Artist in Residence” program. Ninoska has […]
Playa Los Cedros
One of the most beautiful beaches in the area, Playa los Cedros is located south of the town of Montezuma, about halfway to Cabuya. Not only is it one of the best beaches to just hang out at, but it’s a great surf spot. A left-hand point break, “Cedros” is a beautiful wave, but only […]
Dance in Montezuma
So you’ve traveled all the way down to Montezuma and are hoping to find somewhere to dance? That shouldn’t be too difficult here… after all, Montezuma is full of young people immersed in a vibrant Latino culture. In Montezuma you’ll find dance retreats, dance classes, a bar with dancing every night, and street dancing! The […]
La Lora Beach in Santa Teresa
One of the most beautiful beaches around, and perhaps the reason that Forbes magazine voted the beaches of the Malpais/Santa Teresa among the Top 10 Most Breathtaking Beaches. This beach has soft white sand, with no rocks, so it’s a fairly safe beach. It’s named for the nightclub, called “La Lora Amarillo” (The Yellow Parrot) […]
Chico’s Bar
Chico’s Bar is an essential part of the Montezuma experience. The bar is right in the middle of town, and is the focus of the town’s nightlife. The small bar somehow manages to serve hundreds of people some nights, who hang out on the street in front, wander to the beach with a beer in […]
Great Stuff
Clandestina Restaurant
My new favorite restaurant, Clandestina is not to be missed by food lovers staying anywhere near to Montezuma. Established in March 2015, Clandestina is the new kid on the block. The Oregon/Tico collaboration is a winner among locals and travelers alike, with artisan craft beers, made onsite by Butterfly Brewing Co. and delicious, exciting […]
