This country, like most countries in <a href=\"\/central-america\"><strong>Central America<\/strong><\/a>, is bordered by both oceans, which means double the beaches for you to explore and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>And the best part? All beaches in Costa Rica are public. By law, the first 50 meters measured from high tide is considered public land. This means no one can claim ownership and nothing can be built unless it&#8217;s been government-sanctioned.<\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019ve put together a list of the best beaches Costa Rica has to offer (as well as a few helpful tips on how to get there).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/costa-rica-facts\/\"><strong>RELATED READ: 7 COSTA RICA FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bahia Ballena<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_25702\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/iStock-155391095-e1519685442405.jpg\" alt=\"best beaches in costa rica whales tail\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The whale&#8217;s tail at low tide<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Just down the road from the popular surfing town of Dominical lies Uvita, a small town on the Pacific coast. This idyllic hamlet is the gateway to the Parque Nacional Marino Bahia Ballena. Bahia Ballena is named for the humpback whales that migrate through the water here, as well as the shape of the whale\u2019s tail-shaped peninsula of sand that emerges at low tide.<\/p>\n<p>From December to April and from July to September you can spot whales among the waves as you stroll down the white-sand beach. Throughout the rest of the year, it\u2019s an ideal place to swim, kayak, snorkel and enjoy the sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to visit:<\/strong> Spend a day in Uvita on an active adventure on our 11-day\u00a0<a href=\"\/costa-rica\/costa-rica-hike-bike-raft-160450\"><strong>Costa Rica: Hike, Raft &amp; Canyon trip<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Playa Guiones<\/h2>\n<p>Nosara, a beautiful town on the Pacific coast, is a hotspot for surf schools and yoga retreats. Although it\u2019s quite well-known, people who have built up the tourism infrastructure here have done a good job of preserving green spaces, keeping out big resorts and ensuring eco-friendliness. Playa Guiones is the main beach area because is has some of the most consistent surf in Central America. Visit during the dry season (December to April) for beginner-friendly waves.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a surfer, there are mangroves nearby that are great for stand-up paddle boarding. Alternatively, the beach is a gorgeous place for a walk or a yoga class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/subscribe\"><strong>SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID&#8217;S NEWSLETTER FOR COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS, TRAVEL INSPO &amp; MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Tortuguero<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_25703\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25703\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/iStock-174991055-e1519685464684.jpg\" alt=\"best beaches in costa rica baby sea turtles\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baby sea turtles at the beach of Tortuguero National Park<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Despite being one of Costa Rica\u2019s worst-kept secrets, Tortuguero National Park\u2019s remote location means it remains an unspoiled paradise. It\u2019s a bit of a trek to get there (it&#8217;s only accessible by airplane or boat), but it\u2019s absolutely worth it. The main draw is turtle nesting season. Watch green sea turtles, leatherbacks, hawksbills and more nesting on the beaches in the park from July to October and February to April. Afterward, I recommend a boat trip through the canals where you can spot other wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, birds and frogs in the lush jungle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to visit:<\/strong> Journey to Tortuguero National Park on our 15-day\u00a0<a href=\"\/costa-rica\/classic-costa-rica-160448\"><strong>Classic Costa Rica trip<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Playa Pavones<\/h2>\n<p>Way down the southwest coast of Costa Rica, you\u2019ll find Pavones.

Playa Manuel Antonio, Playa Escondido and Playa Espadilla Sur are all sure to be less busy due to a small entrance fee.
