Coco beach, Guanacaste, the diving destination in Costa Rica. The village is only 25 minutes from the new Liberia International Airport. Nicoya's most northerly beaches ring the massive horse shoe shaped Bahia Culebra, "Snake Bay". This huge bay is a natural amphitheater rimmed by scarped cliffs cut with lonesome coves sheltering 17 gray and white sand beaches that have been earmarked for major development. To the east, the plateau extends for kilometers, flat as a pancake, with volcanoes - Rincon de la Vieja, Miravalles, and Orosi - in the distance veiled with clouds. Magnificent! Coco beach is dramatically set in a horseshoe bay with rocks offshore. Sailboats and fishing boats are scattered throughout the bay and provide great opportunity to watch local fisherman at their daily chores. Walking to the "center" you will discover many good restaurants and souvenir shops. The night life is good. People from all over the world come to scuba dive, sail, fish and snorkel. You may also enjoy, horseback riding, golfing, hiking, cycling, tennis and kayaking. Contact us |
