Playas de Coco
Playas de Coco.
One of the most visited beaches in Costa Rica.
The town is very small and has not seen large scale tourism until lately.
New condos, houses and hotels can be found everywhere.
The core of the town is still quite unchanged, but further out in the outskirts of thw town, new stores, malls, restaurants and shops pops up almost every other week.
To find a more tranquil place to swim in playas de coco, avoid the beach i the center of the town and turn right some 2-300 meters before you reach the beach. You can go up to 1-2km on this road and find many nice small roads leading directly to the beach. But this far away from the center of the town will you hardly find any people at all.
The beach itself is not very spectacular, its more like a run of the mill beach with a lot of leafs and other garbage all over the beach.
This is not only from people not cleaning after themselves, but from the sometimes quite rough waves, throwing garbage onto the beach.
As always in Costa Rica, know the tides before you jump into the sea. The tides are quite strong in most places and can give you and your family a lot of problems if ignored.
