Playa Doña Ana

The 700-meter stretch of dark sand at Playa Doña Ana extends along turquoise waters near the mouth of the Barranca River in Puntarenas province.

The beach contains remnants of Costa Rica's railway heritage, including the old railway tunnel known as Túnel de Caballo built during coastal transportation development.

Local artisans regularly display and sell traditional Costa Rican handicrafts directly on the beach, providing income opportunities for the community.

The beach maintains operating hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily, with entrance fees of 1,500 colones for adults and 500 colones for children.

This protected coastal area features cliffs alongside mangrove ecosystems and hosts annual surfing competitions due to its consistent wave patterns.
