towns. The surf camp is a 20 minute quad ride from Santa
Teresa which I would highly recommend as the drive is an
enjoyable experience. Shaka is more appealing to the
traveler and surfer that wants to escape the tourist areas
and "surf" scene in Santa Teresa to the quiet and very
unpopulated beach of Playa Hermosa........"
