This beach is a fantastic hidden find! It's spacious with plenty of shady areas. The water is incredibly calm. The shuttle bus to the beach is very convenient to use, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. An added bonus is the opportunity to spot some animals on the way to the beach!

Pets are not allowed and please do not leave any trash behind. This beach is as clean and inviting as a swimming pool.

The beach is beautiful and natural, with wildlife around. You'll need to take a bus to get there and park your car outside the resort area. The bus takes about 30 minutes to complete a loop. The staff can call the bus for you. There are toilets and changing rooms available.

The water at this beach is crystal clear, with very few people around (only two others were snorkeling). The staff is incredibly diligent about keeping the area clean and preserving the natural beauty. I have traveled to many places around the world, but I have never seen anywhere quite like this. This beach and surrounding park may be the most beautiful I have ever visited. If you are in Costa Rica, be sure to visit this unspoiled and pristine beach, accessible only by resort van (they pick you up at a designated parking area).
