About Playa del Coco
One of the biggest reasons for the popularity of this beach in Guanacaste, is its accessibility. Whereas many places in Costa Rica are difficult to reach, Playa del Coco is close to an international airport (Liberia) and has paved roads with bus services from San Jose. The hills are filled with hotels and shacks and at night there is plenty going on in the little town.

Diving at Playa del Coco
Actually there is much to be found in this area: from the smallest worms and sea horses to manta rays and whale sharks. Between December and May you have a big chance to observe the migration of these sharks. Hammer sharks and white-tip sharks are abundant in these waters. At the dive spot San Pedrillo, also known as ‘Big Scare’ you can even see bull sharks, one of the three most dangerous and aggressive shark species. In the waters around Playa del Coco you should not be surprised to see a huge school of fish completely blocking the sunlight, or to hear the song of a whale. You can do some wreck diving at the spot Tortuga and do some spectacular drift dives at The Point or Northwest Drift.

Playa del Coco in short
A guarantee for (un)expected encounters with a large number of different sea inhabitants. And a nightlife to top it off.
