Booking.com

Playa Christina (Chiriqui) is located outside the Boca Chica 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 Playa Christina 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

"Upon setting foot on this beach, one can't help but feel like a character in a deserted island film. The serene atmosphere and lack of crowds make it seem like a private oasis. It's almost as if you've stumbled upon a secret paradise, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life."

Nolan Davis

"The beach is petite in size, with a charmingly somber sand that adds to its secluded ambiance. The presence of rocks along the shore adds a touch of ruggedness to the scenery. However, reaching this hidden gem requires a moderate hike that takes around 20 minutes, making it all the more exclusive."
