Playas del Coco

Guanacaste Province, Coco, Costa Rica

If you are a diver, or have always wanted to take scuba lessons, Playa del Coco is a great jumping-off point for exploring the deep blue. Visibility may not be as good as in the Caribbean, but the area makes up for it with the rich and varied marine life you’re likely to encounter. Three well-regarded diving outfitters in Playa del Coco are Deep Blue Diving, Rich Coast Diving, and Summer Salt.

Costa Rican Sunsets

Costa Rica’s Pacific coast sunsets, like this one at Playas del Coco, are truly spectacular. There are many local tours that offer half day sunset cruises with open bars and snacks included—our family particularly enjoyed our cruise with Seabird tours. If you prefer catching your sunsets on the sand, take a stroll to the beach or relax at one of the beachfront bars and restaurants.
