Playa Biesanz
8 Erika Laatson

This beach is a gem located in close proximity to Shanna by the Beach. The sand is a beautiful golden color, adding to the charm of this spot.

Playa Palo Seco
8 Mariana Malone.

Puntarenas boasts yet another awe-inspiring beach in Costa Rica. The beach stretches out endlessly, anchored to the north by the Rio Pirris, a large river that flows into the ocean. Many Ticos can be seen fishing in the river and adjacent ocean. The beach is perfect for surfing and biggie boarding during low tide. However, due to the rough surf, it is not recommended for swimming. The beach is dotted with beautiful trees that provide ample shade and privacy. After a day of sun and sand, head to Paritta where you can indulge in a delicious dinner at one of the many restaurants.

Playa La Macha
8 Art Haes.

Playa La Macha is a stunning, isolated sandy beach that is on the smaller side. However, getting there isn't exactly a breeze. To reach it, you'll need to head towards Hotel Bongo and take a left. Before the hotel, there's a small parking lot available. If you happen to have a 4x4, you can drive a bit further, but if not, you'll need to walk and follow the "Playa Macha" sign. Keep following the road until you reach the end, which is a bit tricky due to the slippery and steep terrain. Despite the challenge, the breathtaking scenery and lovely beach make it all worth it. It's important to note that this beach is clothing-optional.

Playa Esterillos

Ahoy there, mateys! Let me tell ye about this hidden gem of a beach. It's a sight for sore eyes with its pristine beauty, and the best part? It's not overrun with tourists. The locals are a friendly bunch, and you'll find yourself feeling right at home in no time. One of the highlights of our stay was the impromptu games of soccer that broke out on the sand. And let's not forget the lifeguards who were a wealth of information and always ready to lend a helping hand. The palm grove was a tranquil spot to watch the birds and lizards go about their business. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the fishermen cleaning their catches of the day. We stayed in an Airbnb for a week and made it a point to take in the breathtaking sunrise and sunset views during our daily walks. And to top it off, we had the honor of helping newly hatched sea turtles make
