Papagayo Peninsula, Coastal peninsula in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
The Papagayo Peninsula extends into the Pacific Ocean with multiple protected bays, white sand beaches, and coastal dry tropical forests covering 1,400 acres.
The development of Papagayo Peninsula began as a strategic initiative to establish Costa Rica's first luxury marina and high-end tourism destination in the northwest region.
The peninsula incorporates the Creciendo Juntos program, which provides education and healthcare support to nineteen surrounding local communities since its establishment.
Located less than one hour from Liberia International Airport, the peninsula offers protected beaches suitable for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding throughout the year.
The Marina Papagayo stands as Costa Rica's sole luxury marina, constructed with environmental considerations to integrate naturally with the gulf's geographical features.
