Coco (or Playas del Coco) is a charming coastal town in Costa Rica‘s Guanacaste province. Unlike many popular tourist destinations, Playas del Coco remains relatively uncrowded, offering visitors a more relaxed and authentic experience. The beach itself is not the most picturesque, but its tranquil atmosphere and calm waters make it an ideal spot for those seeking a laid-back beach vibe. The beachfront promenade features a variety of amenities, including local vendors selling coconuts, adding to the casual charm of the area. Despite its understated appeal, Playas del Coco is well-equipped for both relaxation and adventure.
Visitors can enjoy a range of boating activities and along the beach, there are multiple restaurants and bars, providing a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh seafood and local cuisine. The combination of these amenities and activities makes Playas del Coco a good stop while travelling through Costa Rica, while also offering a peaceful retreat for those who prefer to stay close to the shore. We came to Coco to visit the father of a friend and enjoyed restaurants and beach life for a while, when being close-by I would definitely return.
