Playa del Coco Costa Rica

Playa del Coco Costa Rica is a popular beach town and small fishing village located in the Northern Pacific province of Guanacaste populated by locals and foreigners alike. The beach sand is a white and gray color and extends the length of this 3 mile long beach. The water color is more blue-gray as opposed to the blue-green colors of Playa del Coco's neighbors in Papagayo Bay in Costa Rica where the Four Season's Hotel is located. Activities in this Guanacaste Costa Rica beach town include sport fishing, snorkeling and diving. The beach gets busy during Costa Rican holidays as it is a favorite among the locals. Other events include a visit to the Leatherback National Marine Park where visitors and tourists to the Costa Rica National Park get to see clusters of hawksbill and leatherback turtles as they come ashore to lay their eggs.

The center of Coco is small and less developed than Tamarindo, but Playa del Coco has its share of luxury real estate developments, Costa Rica homes, Costa Rica condos and Ocean view properties. In addition to the luxury accommodations, Play del Coco also has an affordable side. Playa del Coco also has a local flavor of nightlife for the bars and clubs located near the town center.

Playa del Coco is 4 hours from San Jose, Costa Rica's Juan Santamaria International Airport, one hour from Daniel Oduber International Airport and 20 minutes from the landing strip in Tamarindo.
