From bustling surf towns to secluded coves, Guanacaste’s shores show the natural beauty that has made Costa Rica a top destination for expats and travelers alike.

Along this picturesque coast, you’ll find a variety of beach experiences. Some areas are known for their lively atmosphere and are popular with tourists, especially those looking to catch their first waves.
