On This Page:Playa del Coco and Playa Ocotal Travel Guide
In the midst of a major construction boom, Playa del Coco is one of the busiest and most built-up beaches in this area. You'll pass through a tight jumble of restaurants, hotels, and souvenir shops several hundred meters before you hit the sand and sea, while homes, condos, and hotels are sprouting up along the beach in either direction. This has long been, and remains, a popular destination with middle-class Ticos and weekend revelers from San José. It's also a prime jumping-off point for some of Costa Rica's best scuba diving. The beach, which has grayish-brown sand and gentle surf, is quite wide at low tide and almost nonexistent at high tide. The crowds that come here like their music loud and constant, so if you're in search of a quiet retreat, stay away from the center of town. Still, if you're looking for a beach with a wide range of inexpensive hotels, lively nightlife, and plenty of cheap food and beer close at hand, you'll enjoy Playa del Coco.
