Black Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Cahuita An excellent beach break, not well known and therefore not heavily visited. Nevertheless, there are waves all year round.
Atmosphere:
Coolest city on Pacific coast. Got a bad rap from some isolated violated violence but its aaaight. Awesome food and a great bar with live Reggae. Off the beaten track a bit. watch out for the theiving ass monkeys.
Additional Info:
Get the jerk chicken at the hut restaraunt. Its the ish.
