Grande Beach Description
(Local Name: Playa Grande) This beach is Costa Rica's most important nesting ground for leatherback turtles. Throughout October and March more than 100 turtles can be seen nesting and laying their eggs overnight.

Each season, about 2,500 nests are made. Playa Grande is also a favorite surfing spot, as the breaks found here are believed to be the most consistent in the country.
