Splendid place to have a couple's stay amidst romance and nature. White sandy beaches and plenty of places to enjoy an afternoon coffee or party. Definitely a place to enjoy. Full review by Mr_Will01

My husband and I did our honeymoon 11 years ago in Santa Teresa and fell in love—but that sleepy surfer town is long gone. What’s left is a bustling city that’s hasn’t figured out how to handle its r… Full review by Daniella B

Playa Santa Teresa is for me the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica. The sunsets are gorgeous there. The beach is good for surfing and for long walks. If you are in Costa Rica and have enough time to… Full review by ATIVU

Depending on which map you look at, some show a road that stays fairly close to the beach. This is only for 4 wheel drive vehicles with higher clearance since you have 2 rivers to cross (no bridges), and one area closer to Santa Teresa that can only be taken at low tide as you are driving on the beach. Otherwise, take the more main route going down the east side of the peninsula. This road still has some rough areas, and you can't go fast. It would probably take about 3 to 4 hours. The beach road would take longer.

See my review of Santa Teresa Beach on February 8. I would be intimidated going again after being there. Any rain at all will make Santa Teresa a mud pit. And after driving through a couple serious rivers to leave there, I wouldn't care to go if the rivers are higher. And why spend an extra half-a-day driving there and back? While the beach is great, the city infrastructure is very poor. Playa Hermosa is still very good and is much closer. Have fun either way!
