With 6 waves just on Playa Avellanas and private access to the beach breaks of Playa Langosta, you don't even need to leave the ranch, but if you looking to explore the area, the famous Playa Negra reef breaks are just 10 minutes south and the river mouth and beach breaks of Tamarindo just 10 minutes to the north.
No matter what community you are staying in here within Hacienda Pinilla you will generally use transport to get to the beach club, on these trips you will no doubt see a lot of wildlife and monkeys in the mango trees that line the paved roads.
A great way to get around the ranch, to and from the beach club and JW restaurants is by golf cart.
