Encuentro Beach

Encuentro is the quiet one.

Ten minutes west of town, it is the North Coast surf spot, with consistent waves at sunrise and a laid-back community of surfers, families, and remote workers who wanted out of the noise. The vibe is gated communities, villas with gardens, and low-rise condos rather than beachfront towers. Prices typically start around US$180K. Rentals here skew toward longer stays: surf camps, monthlies, and snowbirds rather than weekend tourists. If your dream is morning surf and evening silence, start here.
