Other Beaches in Costa Rica

Let me give you the names of some of the best beaches in Costa Rica.

But before we start lets have a mini course in local Spanish.

Beach is called playa and this knowledge is quite good as there are numerous beaches with the word playa in their name.

Beaches like Manuel Antonio, Jaco, Quepos, Playa Panama, Limon and many others are legendary among people visiting.

Here is a short movie from Playas de Coco!

Playas de Coco has a long curved beach and if you move away from the beach just some 20 meters from the center of the village, you’ll find that you can often have large pieces of the beach to yourself.
Beach Types

Among all the beaches or playas (and there are many) you can find rocky beaches, white sand beaches, beaches with gray sand, beaches filled with coral and beaches with almost no vegetation close by. In contrast to beaches like Manuel Antonio with jungle growing all the way do to a slim sand strip between the jungle and the sea in some places.
