Playas en Tárcoles

Beautiful Sandy Beaches

This collection spans the Central Pacific coastline near the Tárcoles River estuary, a region where tropical dry forests meet the sea. The landscape features a diverse geological mix, from the dark volcanic sands of Playa Azul and the dramatic sedimentary cliffs of Guacalillo to the rare white sands of Playa Blanca. These shores provide habitats for scarlet macaws and offer varied conditions, including protected bays for kayaking at Playa Agujas and surfing breaks at Playa Caletas.
