Playa Del Coco, Party Town - Guanacaste, Costa Rica

One of the best beaches you can hang around in Costa Rica is Playa Del Coco. This beautiful and eventful beach of Costa Rica is situated in Guanacaste, near the Daniel Oduber International Airport, Liberia.

It has a lot of attractive features that may persuade you to come here and spend a good time. The whole place is always eventful and the activities that you can enjoy are sports fishing (which is a famous thing out here), watching exciting waves, the busy beach and of course, Scuba Diving! The beach is very popular among the locals and the tourists. The place has great facilities such as shops, restaurants, bars, discos, casinos, hotels, resorts and markets.

Let's look at the 5 things you can do in this beautiful place:

1) A Night at the Beach: This small piece of the world is always humming with life, for example, you will find a taxi anytime to take you on a tour. The beauty of the beach even gets enhanced when you see it at night and the nonstop buzzing will make your time worth spending.

2) Snorkeling in Playa Ocotal Walk to your left from the parking lot and make sure to bring your sneakers because you're going to walk over some volcanic rock. Once you get around the corner, you'll find a small beach with easy access to a vibrant reef. Here I've seen turtles, mantas, and dozens of bright tropical fish that I can't identify.

3) A day at the Hilton: You don't need to be staying at the Hilton's to enjoy the cool pool and the beautiful garden. The places to hang out are quite awesome as long as you tell the guards that you will be eating at their restaurant! You will also find a bus which will take you up and down the hills for a fun ride.

4) The LLano de Cortez Waterfall: About an hour away from Coco, you'll find a 60 feet waterfall. To get there you have to drive towards Liberia, and when you come to the "main" intersection (the one with the Burger King), make a right. Continue for about 30 minutes until you see an Aloe factory. Down the road to your right you'll see a sign for the LLano de Cortez Catarata.

5) Dr. Will's Nature Tour: Dr. Will is a retired veterinarian who offers guided nature tours in Ocotal Beach. You can walk with Dr. Will for a couple of hours along the beach, up into the mountainside, and then go back down to where you started. All of this for only $20 per person. You'll see birds, lizards, monkeys, exotic flowers, and you'll learn more about Costa Rican wildlife in 2 hours than you could have ever hoped to learn watching the Discovery channel.

I would recommend this place with absolute delight as it was able to make an impact on me instantly. Don't miss the opportunity to come here.
