Copal beach
10 Stevie P

This beach is absolutely stunning and filled with an abundance of seashells! We are considering renaming it to "Seashells Paradise" beach because of how many beautiful and intact shells you can find here. My children absolutely adore this beach and love searching for the most exquisite shells they can find. Additionally, if you're looking for other activities, why not try world-class kitesurfing? This place is absolutely perfect for kitesurfing! There are so many amazing things to do here that it's hard to list them all without experiencing it for yourself. If you're interested in buying or renting property, or even finding an Airbnb, reach out to Sarah at ReMax Paradise Cove for more information about the beaches and the area. Oh, and I'll be posting more pictures because we even saw wild horses playing on and in the beach. It truly is a paradise!

El Jobo beach
10 ExtraordinaryOne

The water at the beach is quite calm, although it tends to be colder than other beaches in Costa Rica because of the trade winds. However, the beach itself is very clean. The snorkeling experience is average. You can easily drive directly to the beach. There are plenty of jet skiers and ATVs in the vicinity. It's advisable to bring your own packed lunch, snacks, and drinks as there are no nearby options. What I loved about this place is that it isn't crowded with tourists or people trying to sell you things. You can truly relax and enjoy a swim.

Rajada beach II

The water is quite chilly, so if you plan on taking a dip during sunset, it's advisable to bring a rashguard to keep yourself warm. It's important to be cautious between January and April as jellyfish and manta rays can be present.

Rajadita beach

This beach is perfect for snorkeling and offers a pleasant swimming experience.

Junquillal beach

The place is really nice, but it seems unfair that foreigners have to pay $15 to enter. It feels like a scam to me. I don't understand why they charge such a high fee just to access a beach. On the other hand, if you are a resident of Costa Rica, the fee is only $4.
