Albergo for Backpackers is the closest hostel you can get to both the beach and town, which makes it a favorite for the surfer contingent. The place's mellow surfer vibe is reinforced with worn-in, breezy rooms, board rentals and a plentitude of hammocks, but only the dorms have ocean views. Albergo is also a carbon-neutral business, and regularly plants trees to offset its carbon emissions.
