Punta de Pelencho (Costa Rica) is located outside the Brasilito settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Punta de Pelencho with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach was peaceful and secluded, providing a pleasant escape from the usual hustle and bustle. My youngest daughter and I had a great time playing in the waves, while my husband and oldest daughter enjoyed exploring the beach, searching for seashells and tide pools. Although the road leading to the beach was bumpy, we noticed a few cars parked there."

Avery Delgado

"Taking morning walks on the beach with the family is a great experience, especially since the dogs enjoy it too. The beach is very serene and peaceful. However, the road leading to it is quite bumpy and rough, so it's advisable to bring a high clearance vehicle."
