If you are traveling in Costa Rica and you are around Guanecaste, don’t forget to pay a visit to Playa Del Coco. This beautiful beach town is situated near the Daniel Oduber International Airport, Liberia.

As I’ve already said, Playa Del Coco is very eventful and it has all the things that you want for a fun time starting from Sports fishing (which is a famous thing out here)or you can watch exciting waves, the busy beach and of course, Scuba Dive! The beach is very popular among the locals as well as the tourists. The place has many good facilities such as shops, restaurants, bars, discos, casinos, hotels, resorts and markets.

Let’s look at the 5 things you can do in this beautiful place:

1) A Night at the Beach: This small piece of the world is always humming with life, for example, you will find a taxi anytime to take you on a tour. The beauty of the beach even gets enhanced when you see it at night and the nonstop buzzing will make your time worth spending.

2) Snorkeling in Playa Ocotal: Walk to your left from the parking lot and bring your sneakers because you will be crossing between mountains and rivers to get there. Once you get around the corner, you’ll find a small beach with easy access to a vibrant reef. Here I’ve seen turtles, mantas, and dozens of bright tropical fish that I can’t identify.

3) A day at the Hilton: If you are not staying at Papagayo Hilton, it doesn’t matter, you can easily visit its cool pool and beautiful gardens. A bus service is always available when you need it and it will show you up and down around the hills. There are awesome gardens and places to hang out, just make sure you tell the guards that you will be eating in their restaurants!

4) The LLano de Cortez Waterfall: About an hour away from Coco, you’ll find a 60 feet waterfall. To get there you have to drive towards Liberia and when you get to the “main” intersection (the one with the Burger King), make a right. Continue for about 30 minutes until you see an Aloe factory. Down the road to your right you’ll see a sign for the Llano de Cortez Catarata.

5) Dr. Will’s Nature Tour Dr. Will is a retired veterinarian who offers guided nature tours of Ocotal Beach. You can walk with Dr. Will for a couple of hours along the beach, up into the mountainside and back down to where you started. All of this for only $20 per person. You’ll see birds, lizards, monkeys, exotic flowers, and you’ll learn more about Costa Rican wildlife in 2 hours than you could have ever hoped to learn by watching the Discovery channel.

People who enjoy nightlife and of course, beauty will have a blast here. You are invited by the beautiful beach and the buzzing town.
