Located in Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica, Playa Coyote is a quality right-hand point that serves up some rippable sections. The waves here are challenging and break for up to 200 meters over a sand bottom. There are some beach break options to the North as well. If you’d like to drive North from here you’ll need a very good 4WD, but empty surf awaits.
