Guanacaste Beaches
Pacific Golden Coast
About this Tour
Explore the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica's North Pacific, from the shell sands of Playa Conchal to iconic rock formations like Witch's Rock in Tamarindo.
The province of Guanacaste is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in Costa Rica. Playa Conchal is unique in the world for its sand composed entirely of millions of crushed sea shells, creating a white and shiny surface that contrasts beautifully with the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Tamarindo, known as the surf capital of Costa Rica, offers not only excellent waves but also the opportunity to see the iconic Witch's Rock, a volcanic formation that emerges from the ocean and has become a symbol of Costa Rican surfing. Las Catalinas, our newest boutique town, combines Mediterranean architecture with the natural beauty of the Pacific.
