The National Surf Circuit (CNS) moves to Palo Seco de Parrita Jan 16th and 17th
For the first time ever, the Circuito Nacional de Surf DayStar (CNS), will have a tournament at the beach Palo Seco de Parrita, which will take place on January 16 and 17. Called the Torneo LimeCoral, this will be the second date of the 2009-2010 season, and it will be a 4-star event awarding 1,500 points to the winners in each category. Palo Seco de Parrita is one of the two new beaches in the Circuito — the other being Cocoles in Limon, which is the next date.
Palo Seco de Parrita is a beach break that is often welcoming surges during the year, including the one expected during Torneo LimeCoral. The contest, which will take place in front of the facilities of Aparta-Hotel La Isla, is set to unite the best surfers from the zones of Parrita, Esterillos and Quepos, who may not often frequent the Circuito championship.
For this date, the Municipality of Parrita contributed a generous amount towards the Circuito DayStar, with organization towards tourism in the zone frequented by surfers and non-surfers both.
In agreement with Hannia Sibaja of the Municipality, there has been an order for the Commission of Support for the Torneo LimeCoral, including the maintenance of about 1,000 vehicles expected. In addition, the public will be able to participate in different activities during the Circuito, including volleyball and beach soccer for mini-championships. There will also be food and drinks for sale on the beach, and access to the bar and restaurant at Aparta-Hotel La Isla.

Jan 16 2010 19:53:00 For those that don't know, Palo Seco is a beach that is about 30 minutes south of Jaco Beach (towards Hermosa Beach and Quepos) and is located right before the town of Parrita.

If you're in town and like surf, definitely go check it out, Palo Seco is a beautiful and mostly untouched beach that you will surely not be disappointed in seeing!
