Located in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, Zancudo is a fun but sheltered beach break that offers up some rippable and fun waves for all levels of surfer. The waves here can be challenging but are usually not and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. On a big South there can be a left-hand point similar to Pavones but without the crowds.
