Cafecito is unique – if you care about supporting local and preserving the authenticity of one of the world’s blue zones, the Nicoya Peninsula, you are in the right spot. Cafecito Surf is the realization of the childhood dream of a local surfer boy who’s family moved from Nicaragua in search of a better life for their family. They laid down roots, fought hard to build a foundation and create opportunity for their 4 children and raised them with the values that we still hold today 🙂 More information about our story on our about page 🙂
