MALPAIS COSTA RICA LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Malpais is everything to the south of the crossroads at Frank's Place. Like Montezuma, Malpais has mostly rocky beaches, with occasional sandy coves. It has two great surf spots - one at Mar Azul, and one at Sunset Reef. The crowd here is older and more laid-back than in Santa Teresa, and although it's right next door, has developed a very different vibe. Unlike Santa Teresa, the real estate on the Malpais side hasn't been chopped up into thousands of tiny lots for development. A greater amount of intact jungle, and more water in the hills keeps the area greener, and because there are less tourists, it's quieter. The exception is the famous Malpais Surf Camp, which has an open mike night on Wednesday nights which is attended by half the peninsula. Many famous musicians have shown up unexpectedly and rocked the crowd, so you never know what you're going to hear.

Malpais borders Cabo Blanco National Park, but it doesn't have an entrance to the park. The only entrance for tourists is in Cabuya, which is just south of Montezuma. Malpais is blessed with one of the best restaurants on the peninsula, called simply "Mary's". This place makes the world's best fish tacos, and the prices are affordable. I'm salivating just thinking about them!
