Playa Flamingo
Playa Flamingo is one of the most gorgeous beaches in Costa Rica, filled to the brim with natural beauty — from fluffy white sands to magnificent ocean views. Playa Flamingo, the beach town, is a popular resort destination filled with upscale restaurants, shopping, and proximity to popular attractions, like the Catalinas Islands and Playa Conchal.

Playas del Coco
Playas del Coco is a dark sand beach with calm waters, so it’s great for swimming, boating, and fishing. This beach and the neighboring town, Coco, are popular destinations for international tourists because of the town’s fabulous restaurants, nightlife, and shopping. Playas del Coco is also a short drive from some of the most popular places to visit in Guanacaste — Diamante Eco-Adventure Park and Rincon de la Vieja National Park.

Playa Potrero
Playa Potrero is nestled between resort-style vacation communities like Playa Flamingo and Las Catalinas. However, it offers a much more authentic, laid-back vibe. Playa Potrero is known for its beautiful sunsets — best enjoyed by boat. Potrero and Surfside, the two nearest towns, are filled with great restaurants and lively nightlife to keep you busy when you’re not at the beach.

Fun Activities
Whether you’re visiting Costa Rica for a family vacation, romantic honeymoon, or as a digital nomad — you’re going to find plenty of things to do to keep you busy when you’re not lounging around at your vacation rental or soaking up the sun at the beach.
These are some of the top activities you can look forward to during your trip to Costa Rica, particularly in Guanacaste — where you’ll be staying!
Wildlife Watching
In Costa Rica, you will have the unique opportunity to see exotic wildlife up close and personal — both in the wild and in wildlife sanctuaries around the country.
In Guanacaste, you can meet sloths, jaguars, toucans, and other rescued animals at the Diamante Animal Sanctuary. At Las Baulas Marine National Park, you can see leatherback sea turtles nesting on Playa Grande and Playa Langosta.
Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
There is no shortage of places to go diving and snorkeling in Costa Rica — and fortunately, Guanacaste is home to a few of the best diving locations in Costa Rica — the Catalina Islands and Bat Islands!
At the Catalina Islands, you can see giant manta rays, spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, reef sharks, and more. The Bat Islands are known for the bull sharks that visit during the peak rainy season in August, September, and October, but snappers, turtles, and other species can be spotted here too.
Thrilling Adventures
If you’re looking for an adventure you can experience on land or in the sky — you’ll love horseback riding, four-wheeling, or ziplining across the beaches, rainforests, and other gorgeous landscapes in Costa Rica.
If you’re looking for romance, riding horseback on Playa Conchal — one of the most beautiful beaches in the world — is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re seeking a thrilling adventure, you can hop on a four-wheeler and ride through the rugged back roads, hillside, and swamps between Playa Flamingo and Playa Potrero or fly across the rainforest on a zipline at Diamante Eco-Adventure Park.
Gorgeous Hiking
With nearly 30% of the country protected in national parks or reserves, Costa Rica is filled to the brim with untouched beauty you can discover on popular hiking trails in Guanacaste.
In the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, journey through the thick rainforest canopy and reward yourself with a refreshing dip in the sparkling natural pools and hot springs on the Rio Negro Hot Springs Trail. Or, spend a day hiking to the stunning Rio Celeste Waterfall in Tenorio Volcano National Park to watch the falls cascade into a vibrant turquoise pool.
Spectacular Surfing
If you’re looking to “shred the gnar” in Costa Rica — you’re in luck. The surfing on Costa Rica’s North Pacific Coast, where you’ll be staying, attracts professional surfers worldwide.
Playa Grande and Playa Tamarindo, in Guanacaste, are great surfing destinations for all skill levels. If you’re new to surfing, you can take lessons from Mojo Surf Adventures or Witch’s Rock Surf Camp. Nosara, further south, is another popular surfing (and yoga!) destination on the Nicoya Peninsula.
Boating Excursions
There are plenty of boating opportunities in Costa Rica — from fishing excursions, sunset cruises, rafting adventures, and wildlife-watching boat rides through the rainforest.
From your vacation rental in Guanacaste, book a Palo Verde Wildlife Safari by Boat, where you can see dozens of native bird species from the water, or depart from the Marina Flamingo on a fishing tour or snorkeling adventure in Playa Flamingo.
