Walk to Playa Blanca
At low tide, you can walk along the southern end of Coco Beach and take a few steps on the rocks to reach Playa Blanca. It’s a beautiful white sand beach where you can enjoy great snorkeling. Always be aware of the tide and come back before it starts to rise.
Playa Penca
This small and isolated beach is probably one of the most idyllic in the area. It’s located between Coco and Hermosa. We recommend getting there in a 4×4 due to the difficult road. It is possible to get there with a mountain bike if you have a good level of fitness: it’s a steep road! Ask the front desk for directions.
Snorkeling
Playas del Coco has great snorkeling sites. You can either rent the equipment at the hotel and go by yourself in the rocky parts of the beach or go in with a professional guide. Some tours combine snorkeling with SUP or sailing. Ask at the front desk to know the good spots.
Scuba diving
Papagayo’s gulf has got plenty of surprises for those who dare to dive in it’s waters. You never dove before? No problem! You can take an introduction class or a full course to obtain your diving certification. There are options for all levels of divers. In season, more advanced divers will want to go to Catalina Islands or Bats Islands to see manta rays and bull sharks.
Sailing
Get aboard a catamaran or a sailboat and cruise along the coast to admire incomparable views of Coco. After an exciting trip to a secluded bay, your crew will take you snorkeling to discover the richness of Costa Rica’s marine life. If you prefer, you can also decide to take a stroll on the beach. Snacks and drinks are included. Be ready to see dolphins, turtles or whales, depending on the season.
Fishing
The waters of Costa Rica’s North Pacific always have been an excellent destination for sport fishing. Among others, you can find marlin, sailfish and abundant Dorados (Mahi Mahi). We offer offshore fishing, inshore fishing and bottom fishing.
