Playa Cabuyal, Pacific beach in Nacascolo, Costa Rica
Playa Cabuyal extends along the Pacific coast with white sand shores, clear turquoise waters, and surrounding tropical dry forest vegetation.
The beach area maintains its natural characteristics since pre-Columbian times when indigenous communities inhabited the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.
Local residents preserve traditional Costa Rican fishing methods at Playa Cabuyal, using small boats and nets to catch fish in the morning hours.
Visitors need a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the beach through unpaved roads, and should bring water, food, and sun protection as no facilities exist.
The beach features a natural estuary where salt and fresh water meet, creating specific conditions for various species of shore birds.
