Located on the left side of the highway just before the fork that either goes to Flamingo or Potrero, Surf Box offers an awesome venue with both indoor, air conditioned seating and covered outdoor seating for larger groups and more of a natural setting.
The small indoor portion of the restaurant has a book shelf that surrounds the few tables so you can swap a book. The selection is limited but there are several popular options if you’re looking for a hard copy book to read and don’t want to drop $20 at the gift shop at the resorts to buy something new.
Surf Box Hours
They are open daily from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm – yes, even in the green season! – and the menu offers some great breakfast and lunch options. They also have a nice selection of tea, coffee and fresh fruit and veggie smoothies. Their milk shakes are also awesome if you just need an afternoon pick me up!
The staff is very friendly, understands English and provide great service. We often see the owners (presumed American expats) in the restaurant and they are also quite attentive to the guests.
There is a single restroom shared by male and female but it is kept clean and is just behind the outdoor seating area.
Suf Box also offers wifi so if you’re working remotely from Costa Rica like we are, it’s a great place to hole up for a while to enjoy some coffee and a productive morning.
