Papagayo Peninsula, Coastal peninsula in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Papagayo Peninsula juts into the Pacific Ocean with several sheltered bays, white sand beaches, and dry tropical forests along its shorelines. The landscape features rocky outcrops, natural harbors, and vegetation that adapts to the coastal environment.
The peninsula was developed to establish luxury tourism in northwest Costa Rica with a modern marina facility. This planning shaped the area from its natural state into an organized coastal destination.
The peninsula incorporates the Creciendo Juntos program, which provides education and healthcare support to nineteen surrounding local communities since its establishment.
The location sits less than one hour from Liberia International Airport, making access straightforward for visitors. Protected beaches here work well for swimming, paddling, and water sports throughout the year.
A modern harbor facility here was built with environmental care and integrates naturally into the waters. This approach shows how infrastructure and nature can exist together.
