Costa Rica Beaches – The Most Beautiful
Nov 9th
Costa Rica is a gorgeous Central American country offering the world’s most heavenly beaches. Its coastline stretches over 1100 miles so there’s a huge variety of beaches to see – with every type of sand, rock and shell beach you can imagine.
With warm waters year-round, its exotic “playas” offer something for everyone. Come to sunbathe, swim, surf, scuba dive, or just take in the incredible scenery. There’s plenty of beaches that have a sparse population so you can have the privacy and seclusion for a peaceful vacation. This place is a beach lover’s paradise!
Here is list of some of Costa Rica’s top beaches:
1.Playa Conchal On The Gold Coast:
Located in the Nicoya Peninsula, Playa Conchal is one of Costa Rica’s most unique beaches. Once you arrive, you realize that the entire beach is composed of hundreds of millions of tiny seashells. Hence the name “Playa Conchal” which actually means “Shell Beach”. With some of the clearest waters on the Gold Coast, snorkeling and/or scuba diving is a must! Playa Conchal has an amazing array of marine life on display. There’s a few national parks, a golf course and camp grounds nearby as well.
2.Playa Montezuma:
Located in a small remote fishing village at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, Playa Montezuma is known for it’s sandy beach and tropical surroundings including islands, rivers and waterfalls. Definitely visit the waterfalls that are over 50 feet high. They are popular tourist attractions and many people love to jump the falls. Although the town has become a popular hotspot for young travelers, the beach (which stretches for miles) is almost deserted and offers secret surf spots and isolated areas to relax in privacy. Montezuma is a carefree place with a mellow vibe.
3.Playa Bahia Ballena:
Created in 1990 to protect the coral and rock reefs around the Isla Ballena, the Marino Ballena National Park is an important island for seabird nesting colonies, as well as basilisk lizards and green iguanas. Humpback whales can also be seen here from December to March. Bottle nose dolphins can be spotted along the coast too. Playa Bahia Ballena is a great place to visit for the budget traveler offering a multitude of things to do besides sunbathing- such as surfing, kayaking, or horseback riding.
4.Playa Flamingo:
With its stunning white sand and pristine clear blue waters, Playa Flamingo is the ideal beach to go to. It offers its visitors some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. Tuna, Marlin, Snapper and Swordfish can all be found off the coast year round. Playa Flamingo also offers plenty of water sport activities, golf courses, and parks.
Whatever beach you pick, you will be amazed by the natural beauty and calming feeling you get when there. Costa Rica is truly an exquisite place to see and come back to over and over again!
