If you’ve gotten beat up by the waves, or are sore from paddling out, you’ll find several excellent spas in town. The best and most extensive (and expensive) is at the Florblanca Resort. But you might also check in with the Believe Surf & Yoga Resort (tel. 2640-0607), located on the main drag of Santa Teresa, which has multiple daily drop-in yoga classes for all skill levels.
For zipline adventures, head to Canopy del Pacífico (tel. 2640-0360; $55), which is toward the southern end of Malpaís and just slightly inland. A 2-hour tour over the nearly 2km (1.2 miles) of cables touches down on 11 platforms, features two rappels, and offers good views of both the forest and the ocean below. Round-trip transportation from an area hotel is $10 per person.
For fishing, wildlife viewing and bird-watching, there’s the highly recommend Sapoa Adventures ★★ (tel. 8996-9000) or Jason Tours (tel.8417-8366).
