The North Pacific Coast

This area in Costa Rica is located on the Western shores of Nicoya Peninsula and stretches from Playa Carrillo in south to Puerto Soley in north, close to Nicaragua’s border. This part of Costa Rica, which also known as the Golden Coast is embellished with bays, beaches and coves that are sure to astound you. Watch a sunset that will fill you with a plethora of colors, floating in the calmest waters of Playa Real, which is home to Bahia de Los Piratas Resort, or you may just wade in a private pool high up on the hill looking out over the Gulf of Papagayo home to the Giardini di Papagayo all inclusive resort. Do whatever and feel yourself transported to a world where there are no worries and the only thing that can trouble you is remembering to put on your suntan lotion or what to choose for dinner from among those delicious menu options. Well… lobster, shrimp or something else? Yummy! Believe it, that is life on the Costa Rican Riviera!! The majestic ocean, the ever-expanding scope of the endless sky, the gold beach and sand, all around you…

You can drive 4 hours to here from San Jose, while enjoying the diverse views and exploring small towns and the countryside or you can simply take a very short flight from San Jose.

In case you choose to drive, you can move towards the north, Liberia and then towards the west bypassing the Daniel Oduber International Airport. You can then go in the direction of Filadelfia, after which you go past Belen, Huacas, and onward to the seashores of Langosta, Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Conchal, Brasilito, Flamingo, Potrero, Ocotal, Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. In case, you want to head for Nosara, Samara, Carrillo or the other adjacent beaches, your best bet will include getting off the main highway north and head for the Tempisque river in a ferry boat.

You also have the option of driving northward from Nicoya to Belen and that will reach you to beaches of northern Guanacaste. There is a lot that you can do in the Golden Coast. Activities ranging from sailing, sport fishing, diving, surfing, swimming, kayaking and river rafting to horseback riding, canopy touring, bird watching, wildlife watching, and simply worshiping the sun with a sip on your tall, chilled beverage, are all at your disposal. You will find abundant bars and casinos, restaurants and other modes of leisure activities that promise to keep you engaged in your evenings.
