Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica has just become the first beach in Central America to be given the title of World Surfing Reserve, making it a must-visit destination for surfers.
World Surfing Reserves were created by Save the Waves, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting surf ecosystems around the world. WSRs are intended to serve as models for preserving wave breaks, and protecting the important environmental, cultural, and economic backbones of their areas. Only one surf destination is awarded the WSR title each year.
