Playas del Coco

The three-kilometer beach features dark volcanic sand and stretches along the Gulf of Papagayo with three distinct islands visible from its shores.

Starting as a small fishing village, Playas del Coco transformed into a major tourist destination during the rapid expansion of the 1990s.

The town maintains its traditional fishing heritage while integrating international influences through restaurants, markets, and community gatherings.

Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport provides direct access to Playas del Coco with a 30-minute drive covering 27 kilometers.

The beach waters remain calm throughout most of the year, creating natural conditions for swimming and opportunities to observe marine life.
