Playa Órganos, Pacific beach in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Playa Órganos is a Pacific beach cradled in a sheltered cove with golden sand sloping toward clear waters. The shoreline stretches naturally along the coast without significant development or structures.
This area developed as a fishing settlement in the early days of coastal habitation. The reliance on fishing shaped its character and continues to define it today.
Local fishermen work with nets in ways passed down through generations, shaping the beach's character. Their daily routines are part of what gives this place its working coastal identity.
The beach has no permanent amenities, so bringing water, snacks, and sun protection is important for comfort. The driest months run from December through April, making that the best time to visit.
Coral formations near the shore resemble organ pipes, the feature that inspired the beach's name. These structures create a habitat that supports a variety of marine life in the cove.
