Monday Night in Santa Teresa

Monday is the odd night that works. Most surf towns die after Sunday. Santa Teresa puts a surf competition on the beach at Banana Beach and then does not stop. If you searched "Monday night Santa Teresa," this is almost always what people mean.

Banana Beach: surf, then a party

Banana Beach Bar runs a weekly Monday that starts as a surf heat and turns into a beach party: fire, a DJ, a mix of people who surfed that day and people who just heard there was something on. It is one of the few Mondays on the peninsula that feels like a weekend.

Arrive by sunset if you want sand, not a third row behind a speaker. The surf bit is the afternoon. The party is the evening. You can skip the heats and still show up for drinks.

It is tourist-heavy. That is not an insult. It is also reliable, which this town is not, always. Confirm the weekly page or Instagram. Weather and swell change the surf half more than the party half.

If you skip Banana Beach

Monday is otherwise a restaurant night. Tables are easy. Drift is not the move. La Lora is not the move. A long dinner, a sunset cocktail at Rocamar if you have the energy, bed. That is a good Monday here.

Best restaurants and best bars if you want names.

Getting there

Banana Beach is on the main beach access people already know. Walkable from a lot of Santa Teresa stays, a short taxi from Mal País or Hermosa. The beach is dark away from the lights. Stay near the crowd if you are not with people.
