Surf Competition at Playa Cocles






Spent the day at Playa Cocles – between Puerto Viejo and Playa Uva – to watch a surf competition. Got to the beach a little early so we were able to take a short walk down to the local market to pick up water and some delicious “banana bread pudding cake.” Crossed over the Rio Cocles bridge to get there (see river photo). There were many extremely skilled surfers and it was exciting to watch. The waves were large and constant which is hard to tell from the short video. If you look carefully you may see a few surfers in the footage. Took the jungle path back to Puerto Viejo and stopped at one of the small restaurants along the way to catch a late lunch. Stopped for a quick swim and beer back in town before hitching a ride back home with a neighbor we ran into at the beach. Great way to spend a Wednesday.
