Playa Virador, Beach in Nacascolo, Costa Rica.
Protected by the Papagayo Peninsula, Playa Virador features golden sand stretches along crystal waters of Culebra Bay in northwestern Costa Rica.
The coastal region bears traces of indigenous settlements and Spanish colonial influence, which shaped the development of the Papagayo Peninsula's shoreline.
Local communities maintain traditions of responsible coastal living, organizing regular beach maintenance activities to preserve the natural state of Playa Virador.
Visitors access the beach through a shuttle service from the main parking area at Route 253, with the journey taking approximately ten minutes.
White-faced capuchin monkeys and coati frequent the beach area, creating natural encounters between wildlife and beachgoers throughout the day.
