Nosara, Costa Rica

Best Time: December–April (dry season with gentle, consistent waves)

Why it’s perfect for solo travelers: Nosara blends surfing with wellness — think jungle yoga studios, smoothie bowls, and chill beach cafés. It’s safe, peaceful, and has a great community of travelers doing their own thing.

Solo Vibe: Nature-forward and grounding. A place to reconnect with your body and breathe deeply.

Sayulita, Mexico

Best Time: November–April

Why it’s perfect for solo travelers: Small, colorful, and filled with laid-back surf schools and friendly expats. You can take lessons in the morning, eat street tacos by afternoon, and join a salsa night solo without it feeling weird.

Solo Vibe: Fun, funky, and friendly. You’ll likely meet other travelers over beers or burritos post-surf.

Best Time: March–May or September–November

Why it’s perfect for solo travelers: One of the world’s most iconic surf towns, but still beginner-friendly and soulful. Surf schools are everywhere, and the town’s “good vibes only” energy makes it perfect for solo adventure.

Solo Vibe: Boho, breezy, and wide open. This is where you come to lose track of time — and maybe fall a little in love with life.
