Surf town context
Santa Teresa, with neighbouring Mal País, is a beach town known for surf, yoga and a low-rise, unpaved-road feel at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Access is by road or ferry from Paquera, and dust, road quality and water supply are everyday concerns. Our link set includes Santa Cruz and Tamarindo, which are in Guanacaste on the other side of the peninsula, and Dominical on the south Pacific coast, so they are other markets rather than neighbours.
Buyers are mainly foreigners seeking lifestyle homes and short-term rentals.
Costa Rica buying notes
Foreigners can own titled property in their own name or through a company. The key risk is the Maritime Zone Law: land within 200 metres of the high-tide line is governed by concessions, with strict limits on foreign ownership. Check the title (folio real), plano catastrado survey, water source (ASADA or well) and zoning. Transfer taxes and fees total roughly 3% to 4%, and a lawyer should handle the process.

Can foreigners own beachfront land in Santa Teresa?
Land in the Maritime Zone is restricted and held by concession, so get a lawyer to check the title and status.
What is a plano catastrado?
The official cadastral survey map; it should match the title.
Is water supply a concern?
Yes. Confirm the water source and reliability.
Are there many rentals?
Short-term rental demand is strong, though rules and licensing apply.
