Best Beaches of Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s coastline features diverse environments, ranging from the crushed shell shore of Playa Conchal to the protected leatherback turtle nesting sites at Playa Grande. This selection includes the consistent surf breaks of Santa Teresa, the calm, horseshoe-shaped bay of Playa Sámara, and the historic fishing village atmosphere of Playas del Coco. These destinations offer opportunities for snorkeling in volcanic rock tide pools and exploring coastal trails that connect secluded coves across the Guanacaste and Nicoya regions.
