Samara Beach, Costa Rica

Learning Spanish is easy when done on the beach. Intercultura’s immersive Spanish-language school at Samara Beach in Costa Rica is the country’s only accredited school right on the beach. They provide classes for local and international students in Playa Sámara, Guanacaste, where you’ll get to learn a new language while feeling the fresh ocean breeze.

The town is a bit of a tropical paradise with a small population and tons of culture. It’s a great way to really find yourself involved in the community while studying and earning college credit. Samara Beach is famous for fantastic surf schools, great food and a family atmosphere where the locals make you feel right at home.

During the day, classes are taught indoors or right on the sand, depending on your teacher’s mood, and in the evenings you’re free to explore the island. There’s epic kayaking and swimming as well as a coral reef just off the shore. The school and accompanying living quarters are also a short walk from the bars and town center.

If you want a true taste of rural life in Costa Rica while also furthering your education, Intercultura at Samara Beach is truly a wonderful opportunity to mix study abroad in a spring break atmosphere.
