Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with crystal clear waters, white sands and abundant nature that make them paradisiacal places.

Some of the most popular are found south of the Niicoya peninsula in the Pacific of Costa Rica. They are mostly visited by people looking for adventure and perfect waves for surfing. However, there are also beaches where calm waters and fewer visitors make them perfect places to clear your mind and renew energy.

Organos Beach

It is one of the first beaches to be found after crossing the Gulf of Nicoya by ferry, although it is a little known place. It is a quiet place with beautiful light gray sands, with a wide extension, ideal for a good walk. The waves of its waters are moderate and it has abundant trees and palm trees that provide their shade in the warmest moments of the day.

At one end of the beach there is a beautiful river mouth, which forms shallow lagoons of warm water.

Curú Beach

This beach is within the national wildlife refuge of the same name. It is a huge spot in a bay, so its waters are calm, perfect for taking a bath.

It is the perfect place to observe wildlife, monkeys, deer, raccoons, birds and many more, they are easily found along the beach or on the different trails within the refuge.

Pochote Beach

_MG_9135.jpg

Of my favorite beaches, this is a very quiet place ideal for camping and traveling with the family, especially if there are small children. It is located inside a large bay called Ballena, this makes the waves very soft and when the tide rises, beautiful lagoons with clear waters are formed, where you can swim and observe marine life.

In addition, along the beach you can find several rivers and estuaries surrounded by spectacular natural environments.

Tambor Beach

_MG_9747.jpg

It is one of the most popular beaches in the area. Important hotel development is located here, including the Barceló Playa Tambor, which attracts a large number of national and European visitors. Its beach is wide with clear sands and waves of moderate size.

Its name is due to the sound that the waves make when they burst and that can be heard from long distances. The nightlife is very entertaining and you can find a wide variety of options for restaurants, bars and nightclubs or simply enjoy a bonfire by the sea with friends.

Montezuna Beach

We move to the beaches where the greatest attraction is surfing. Its location towards the open sea and its rocky beaches makes it ideal for the formation of large waves.

Montezuma has white sands and turquoise waters. The town has a bohemian atmosphere and a party atmosphere prevails at night. Here lives a large community of Argentines, who have combined their culture with the Costa Rican to create a unique place in the country.

Playa el Carmen (Santa Teresa)

_MG_0229.jpg

This is another ideal beach for surfing. With the growth of Montezuna, tourism moved to other less crowded beaches. This is how Playa del Carmen became famous as a tourist destination and which is part of the Malpaís beach complex.

It is extensive, with white sands where you can practice a large number of activities such as hiking, horseback riding on the beach, kayaking, canopy among others.

Cabuya Beach

IMG_9911.jpg

Many foreigners who seek to reside in Costa Rica in a quiet place away from mass tourism, have found this beach the perfect place to live. Cabuya is a natural, geological and historical paradise. It borders the Cabo Blanco absolute natural reserve, which has the last natural environments of its kind in all of Central America.

Its rocky beaches are exposed at low tide showing large stone esplanades. It is at that time where you can walk to the famous cemetery island, a mysterious place where for many years the inhabitants have used to bury their dead. When the tide rises it is impossible to leave the island, since the waves and sharp rocks complicate the arrival of the boats.

Costa Rica esta posee algunas de las playas más hermosas del mundo, con aguas cristalinas, arenas blancas y abundante naturaleza que las convierten en lugares paradisiacos.

IMG_9961.jpg

Algunas de las más vístalas se encuentran al sur de la península de Niicoya en el pacífico de Costa Rica. En su mayoría son visitadas por personas que buscan aventura y olas perfectas para la practica del surf. Sin embargo también hay playas donde las aguas calmas y un menor número de visitantes, las convierten en lugares perfectos para despejar la mente y renovar energías.

Playa Órganos

IMG_0970-Editar.jpg

Es una de las primeras playas que se encuentra después de cruzar en Ferry el golfo de Nicoya aunque es un lugar poco conocido. Es un lugar tranquilo con hermosas arenas de color gris claro, con una extensión amplia, ideal para una buena caminata. El oleaje de sus aguas es moderado y posee abundantes arboles y palmeras que brindan su sombra en los momentos más cálidos del día. En un extremo de la playa se localiza una hermosa boca de río, que forma lagunas poco profundas de agua tibia.

Playa Curú

Esta playa se encuentra dentro del refugio nacional de vida silvestre del mismo nombre. Es un enorme paraje en una bahía, por lo que sus aguas son calmas, perfectas para darse un baño.

Es el lugar perfecto para observar la vida silvestre, monos, venados, mapaches, aves y muchos mas, se encuentran con facilidad a lo largo de la playa o en los diferentes senderos que hay dentro del refugio.

Playa Pochote

_MG_0256.jpg

De mis playas favoritas, este es un lugar muy tranquilo ideal para acampar y viajar con la familia, especialmente si hay niños pequeños. Se localiza dentro una gran bahía llamada Ballena, esto hace que el oleaje sea muy suave y al subir la marea se forman hermosas lagunas de aguas claras, donde se puede nadar y observar la vida marina.

_MG_8910.jpg

Además, a lo largo de la playa se pueden encontrar varios ríos y esteros rodeados de espectaculares ambientes naturales.

Playa Tambor

_MG_9741.jpg

Es una de las playas mas populares de la zona, aquí se localizan importante desarrollo hotelero, incluyendo el Barceló playa Tambor, el cual atrae una gran cantidad de visitantes nacionales y europeos. Su playa es amplia de arenas claras y olas de tamaño moderado.

IMG_9718.JPG

Su nombre se debe al sonido que hacen las olas al reventar y que se puede escuchar desde largas distancias. El ambiente nocturno es muy ameno y se pueden encontrar una gran variedad d opciones de restaurantes, bares y discotecas o disfrutar simplemente de una fogata junto al mar con los amigos.

Playa Montezuna

_MG_0212-Pano.jpg

Nos trasladamos a las playas donde el mayor atractivo es el surf. Su ubicación hacia mar abierto y sus playas rocosas la hace ideal para la formación de grandes olas. Montezuma posee arenas blancas y aguas color turquesa.

IMG_0014.jpg

En el pueblo se vive un ambiente bohemio y predomina un ambiente de fiesta durante las noches. Aquí vive una gran comunidad de argentinos, los cuales han combinado su cultura con la costarricense para crear un lugar único en el país.

Playa el Carmen (Santa Teresa)

_MG_0214.jpg

Esta es otra playa ideal para la practica del surf. Con el crecimiento de Montezuna, el turismo se fue trasladando a otras playas menos concurridas.

_MG_0217.jpg

Así fue como playa del Carmen se hizo famosa como destino turístico y la cual forma parte del complejo de playas de Malpaís. Es extensa, de arenas blancas en donde se pueden practicar una gran cantidad de actividades como senderismo, cabalgar por la playa, kayac, canopy entre otros.

Playa Cabuya

IMG_9892.jpg

Muchas extranjeros que buscan residir en Costa Rica en un lugar tranquilo lejos del turismo masivo, han encontrado en esta playa el lugar perfecto para vivir. Cabuya es un paraíso natural, geológico e histórico. Limita con la reserva natural absoluta Cabo Blanco, la cual posee los últimos ambientes naturales de su tipo en toda Centroamérica.

IMG_9931.jpg

Sus playas rocosas quedan expuestas durante la marea baja mostrando grandes explanadas de piedra. Es en ese momento donde se puede caminar hasta la famosa isla cementerio, un lugar misterioso donde desde hace muchos años los habitantes han utilizado para enterrar a sus muertos. Al subir la marea es imposible salir de la isla, ya que las olas y afiladas rocas complican la llegada de los botes.
