15 MINUTE WALK TO THE TOWN OF PLAYAS DEL COCO
…the gem of the Guanacaste Province
Situated in the arid northwest region of Costa Rica, and just a short, yet scenic, drive from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, is the gem of the Guanacaste province — the bustling oceanside village of Playas del Coco. One of the oldest beach communities in Guanacaste, Playas del Coco is also one of the fastest growing, thanks to its popularity with tourists seeking sun, fun, and adventure. The small, but busy community is the largest village in the province.
Known affectionately by locals as “El Coco,” Playas del Coco boasts one of Costa Rica’s most popular stretches of coastline and is a paradise for beachgoers, fishermen, and water enthusiasts of all ages. There is no shortage of exciting opportunities for those looking to swim, snorkel, dive, and fish along over three kilometres of pristine shoreline. In fact, the region is a favourite among international sport fishing enthusiasts and deep-sea divers. The area recently played host to Costa Rica’s first-ever Ironman competition in 2017.
For those looking to get off the beach after the gruelling experience of suntanning, relaxation, and swimming, Playas del Coco is home to a multitude of local vendors and artisans that add the perfect spice of variety for those looking to get out of the sun and browse through the region’s finest markets and shops. Try your luck and spin the wheel at the El Coco Casino, or sit back and relax at one of Playas del Coco’s many bars and restaurants — there is sure to be a restaurant or shop to suit your style.
Playas del Coco is an ideal launching point for those looking to explore all that Guanacaste has to offer. Head north to the region’s capital for a dose of local history in Liberia. Swing by Liberia’s old quarter, home to the Museo de Guanacaste and its many cultural and historic exhibitions, or take a stroll through the wild west while checking out local cowboy memorabilia on display at the Museo del Sabanero.
Guests looking to expand their vacation experience and explore the area can upgrade their transportation from foot to horsepower thanks to several car rental options. Nearby, you can also find stores specializing in tours to explore the region’s many attractions. Looking for adventure? Try the popular zip lining attraction at the Diamante Adventure Park, or grab your surfboard and tackle the swells at Tamarindo.
Outdoor enthusiasts have no shortage of breathtaking options to experience as well. The nearby area of Llanos de Cortes’ features a stunning multi-layered waterfall! Perhaps hiking is more your speed? Head to Ricon de la Vieja National Park’s sputtering and sulphuric mud pots for a truly unique experience that will undoubtedly add to your overall vacation experience.
If wildlife is something that interests you, then you’ve come to the right place. Bear witness to one of nature’s great wonders with the nesting Olive Ridley sea turtles at the Ostional Wildlife Refuge or take a boat ride down the Rio Tempisque to see birds, crocodiles, iguanas, and even monkeys in the wild at the Palo Verde National Park. Adventurous travellers can get their adrenaline pumping with the Guachipelin Adventure Combo Tour; this action-packed tour will take you on a whirlwind of white water tubing, rock climbing, and waterslides, before capping it all off with a muscle-melting trip to the mud baths.
Make a day of it and drive a little further off the coast to the Arenal Volcano where you can spy breathtaking waterfalls, soak in luxurious hot springs, and even rev your engines with an ATV tour. Take to the skies for a scenic helicopter tour or just feel like your flying at the Monteverde hanging bridges.
Cross another country off your bucket list with a quick visit over the boarder to Nicaragua, which is just a short 2.5 hours away by car. Nicaragua is home to the largest fresh water lake in Central America (Lake Nicaragua) and a rare variety of fresh water shark.
All in all, Playas del Coco and the surrounding regions contain every amenity, shop, restaurant, and outdoor experience needed to enhance and fulfill your destination vacation checklist. From traditional tourist experiences and services to breathtaking outdoor adventures and extraordinary wildlife, Playas del Coco and the whole of Guanacaste have a little something for everyone. Combined with a pristine, private, and fully serviced complex and condo at Green Turtle just a short trek away, this will be a vacation spot we are confident you will be returning to for years to come.
