Description:
Playas del Coco near the Gulf of Papagayo is the town with the largest infrastructure in this area. Besides shops, restaurants, casinos and markets, you'll find all kind of hotels and cabins from simple to deluxe. The scenery consists of the horseshoe-shaped Coco Bay and steep hills and cliffs. It is a good place to have fun. Its main attractions are the tourist facilities and the sun, which shines longer and more brightly here than anywhere else in Costa Rica. Other attractions are the nearby beaches of Hermosa, Ocotal and Panamá.

Wheather: Playa del Coco is one of the most easily accessible beaches in Guanacaste. It is located 22 miles (35 km) west of Liberia, with good road connections which is quite rare in Costa Rica. Playa del Coco?s paved road runs down to the water and its seashore has grayish-brown sand. It takes around 5 hours to get to this beach on a bus from San José. Average temperature all year round: 28C/82F.Rainy season May - October, Dry Season November - April.

Atractions: Diving is the most popular water sport in Playas del Coco. The high season for scuba-diving is from April through to September. The nearby Catalinas and Bat Islands are the hot sites to see turtles, sharks and octopus. Another good water sport to practice here is sailing. There is no surfing whatsoever at Coco Beach, but it is a popular jumping off point for daily boat trips to Witches Rock and Ollies Point. The view from the bay includes Pelonas Islands, Cacique Point to the northwest and Cantinela Point. Other attractions are nearby Hermosa, Ocotal and Panama beaches of Guanacaste.
|
Others: It is a good place to have fun but not to be alone, so if you are searching for a quiet retreat, stay away from the center of town. There are plenty of boats anchored here, and that means plenty of opportunities to go fishing on half and full day excursions that include a boat, captain, food and tackle. The beach is quite wide at low tide and almost nonexistent at high tide. In between high and low tide, it?s just right! It was the first pacific beach to hit the big time with weekending Costa Ricans from the Central Valley.
