Days that

Longboard waves out front, a point break to the north, and a board rack in every house. Lessons and boat trips to the outer breaks on request.

Ride the beach at low tide with the ranch at the end of the road. Two hours, sunset preferred, no experience needed.

Open-air classes at seven on the deck at Casa Agave, private sessions in any house, and a monthly retreat in the dry season.

A catamaran with a skipper and a cook, the Marietas islands, whales from December to March, and the sunset on the way back.

Three waterfalls in the hills behind the town, a guide who knows all of them, and a swim in each.

An 18-hole Greg Norman course between the jungle and the Pacific. Tee times and a caddie arranged by the house.

Rock arches, reef fish and, some mornings, turtles. Masks and fins in every house, boats from the beach.
