Costa Rica is all about heavenly beaches. However, according to the website GoPlaya, which is the first search engine of these destinations in Costa Rica, the best five beaches are located in Guanacaste: Buena, Lagartillo, Virador, Cabo Blanco and Hermosa.
“These are beautiful beaches, but less visited if you compare with other places which are usually packed with people in a certain time of the year, which are more popular and therefore, with higher visitation”, said José Pablo Alfaro, Marketing and Communication Director for GoPlaya.
You can find white sand, pristine water and plenty of vegetation providing the ideal conditions to relax. Hermosa and Lagartillo are even ideal for surfing.
Due to the road and waves conditions, the most recommended beaches for families with children are Buena and Lagartillo. If you like walking and hiking then consider Virador, with a 780 stairs trail. If you are looking for a bigger challenge, we recommend you Cabo Blanco. In order to get to the beach you have to go over a 5 km trail, which can take up to three hours.
