Playa Potrero
Potrero offers tranquility, peace and a clean gray sand beach with moderate waves. The beach has very few stones, making it perfect for a dip or a walk along the sand, taking in the huge mountains that can be seen in the distance.
In a bay with calm waters, it also has picture- perfect estuaries and mangroves. Suitable for relaxing, admiring the scenery, and for water sports such as sport fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

Playa Surco de Piedra
Dark brown sand, strong, irregular waves and a moderate slope down toward the sea. The beach has trees that provide a good amount of shade and the sea is calm enough for swimming. Please exercise caution due to the presence of submerged rocks.

Playa Pitahaya
Pitahaya is a pristine beach with gray sand. Despite its beauty, it remains off the beaten path for tourists. Its intermediate swell will allow you to swim and enjoy its crystal-clear water. Be careful because this beach has a lot of stones, both on shore and on the seabed.
Its great natural wealth includes cliffs that look out over the scenic beauty, steep rocks and streams. It is suitable for bathing, camping and photography.
Playa Concava
A huge boulder divides Playa Pitahaya from Playa Cóncava, but the beaches on either side of this natural dividing line are quite different from one another.
Playa Cóncava in Guanacaste has black sand, unlike its neighbor, which has light sand.
It is characterized by its strong waves and huge rocks that adorn the landscape. The dark sand intermingles with the rocks,
wearing sandals is recommended on this solitary beach.
Its main attraction is the nesting season of the olive ridley turtle, but it is also ideal for swimming at low tide and hiking.
