witchs_rock_nachos

….. Last month we paid tribute to one of the long-time staples of the Witch’s Rock Surf Camp experience. Having already developed what one could describe as a cult-like following, the ‘Nachos as Big as Your Ass’ from our Eat at Joe’s restaurant gained even more notoriety upon our April announcement that we created and added Pale Ale nacho cheese sauce to the recipe. An already heaping, delicious and loaded plate of nachos with a name you’ll never forget was taken to a new level of delicious using our very own Witch’s Rock Pale Ale. Just how famous have Nachos ...read post

How Do We Keep the Beaches of Tamarindo Clean?

donation_eat_at_joes

….. There are very few things quite as important to us here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp as keeping the beaches of Tamarindo clean. We live and breathe the sand and ocean that we’ve come to call home here in Costa Rica, and our goal is to always leave the beaches we regularly enjoy better off than we found them. In the grand scheme of things, our oceans and beaches really are in trouble. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a Texas-sized island made up of garbage floating around in the pacific ocean isn’t healthy for anyone. And ...read post

  You never want to miss the first time for anything… ….. Today we head to Costa Rica’s inaugural microbrew festival. Officially, it’s the 1er Festival de Cerveza Artesanal. It’s crazy to think that here in 2012 it’s still possible to be a part of the ‘first’ of anything at all, let alone when it’s with something as cool as craft beer. Yet here we are. There’s a real energy and movement toward creating a genuine, long-lasting microbrew scene here in Costa Rica. It’s a grassroots movement that comes from the simple desire of consumers to have more choice. It’s very ...read post

Good Times at El Vaquero (Our Second Beach Bar)

elvaquero_bar

We’ve been chillin’ and grillin’ at El Vaquero, the open-air beachfront spot we recently opened on the south end of Witch’s Rock Surf Camp.  The bar and has quickly become a favorite hotspot for locals, guests, employees, and visitors in town. With the little rustic rancho bar, shaded umbrella tables, and plenty of room to stretch out or let the kids run around, El Vaquero is another perfect place at Witch’s Rock to watch surfers during the day and enjoy the spectacular sunsets each evening.  At night, the gentle breezes under the stars make it a magical spot to eat dinner (everything on the Menu at “Eat at Joe’s” ...read post

How Sweet it Is! Ice Cream Sundae Desserts!

How Sweet It Is! Desserts at WRSC

For all the folks over the years who have asked for dessert, the long wait is finally over.  Banana Splits, Cookie Monsters, and Sundaes soaked in Coffee Liquor (the “Sweet and Sloppy”) are flying out of the restaurant this month.  Guess we should have done this ages ago. Thanks to all of our kids, who wouldn’t let the dessert bar fall behind other projects, and who bravely volunteered to test any dessert recipe, at any time, to make it happen.  This wouldn’t have happened without your constant pestering. OK, now I’m hungry&# ...read post
