Playa Grande has excellent surfing on the main beach. According to some expert surfers the breaks and swells are consistent enough for it to be rated as among the overall best surf spots in the country.The stunning beach of Playa Grande with its pristine shoreline and clear blue sea, is home to the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles that come ashore every year to lay their eggs on the beach.

The only drawback of Playa Grande is that it is not the most easily accessible beach. Tamarindo is the closest beach, and is a couple of kilometers south of Playa Grande.
