Beaches of Guanacaste

When it comes to tourism and natural beauty, there’s no area in Costa Rica that tops the growing popularity of the Guanacaste province.    The stunning Guanacaste beaches stretch from the border of Nicaragua to the Nicoya Peninsula.

The beaches along Guanacaste's shore – Tamarindo, Flamingo, Hermosa, El Coco, Samara and Nosara are some of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, offering great surf and a wide variety of other water sports. Other exciting activities that visitors can enjoy in the area include incredible wildlife watching, breathtaking landscapes, horseback riding and hiking tours.

Guanacaste has a beach to fit every taste, from tranquil and solitary beaches to touristy and resort-loaded destinations.   One-time fishing villages like Tamarindo are now quickly becoming resort towns.  With a large influx of tourists and foreign residents, this beautiful area bears more resemblance to other touristy destinations such as Cancun, than typical Costa Rica.

There’s a nice array of accommodation options throughout the province.  Many of the new Guanacaste resorts are among the top hotels in the country, and even Central America.  Guanacaste hotels have choices to suit pretty much any budget.

And for those interested in more than beaches and crystal waters, Guanacaste also hosts tropical forests that characterize some of the most popular national parks in the country, such as Santa Rosa and Rincón de la Vieja.
