Playa Cocles

The mile-long sandy shore extends along turquoise waters, bordered by rows of palm trees that provide natural shade to beachgoers throughout the day.

The beach area developed from a small fishing settlement in the 1970s to become part of Costa Rica's Caribbean tourist circuit during the 1990s.

The local population combines Latino, Afro-Caribbean, and indigenous Bribri traditions, reflected in the regional music, food, and daily lifestyle.

Multiple surf shops offer board rentals and lessons, while lifeguards monitor swimming conditions and provide safety information to visitors.

The northern section produces waves reaching heights of 2 meters during peak season, making it a preferred location for experienced surfers.
