Attractions How to get there? Hotels Map

The horse-shoe shaped Bahia Culebra shelters beautiful beaches and big tourist projects. The huge bay (which is so deep that apparently U.S. submarines station there during WWII) is surrounded by cliffs, 17 white and dark sand beaches and archaeological sites. 
 Playa del Coco is located in south side of Bahia Culebra and it's closely located to other famous beaches like Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. This is one of the most accessible beach resorts in Guanacaste, just 35km from Liberia.  Playas del Coco is basically an active fishing village with a touristy area to the north, and the rest of the peaceful village to the south.

 Attractions
 There's plenty of sun, ocean, sand and gorgeous beaches to explore. But not everything happens above the surface of the sea. Bill Beard's Diving Safaris can take you down under (the sea that is). There are many diving adventure operators like Deep Blue Diving Adventures, Resort Divers of Costa Rica, etc here so be sure go take a dive!.
 As for watersports, you can rent kayaks, snorkels, canoes, aqua bikes, take banana boat rides and bout tours. So there's plenty to do for everyone.
 A couple of miles from Sardinal (in the access road to Playas del Coco) you can enjoy Canopy tours and butterfly farms.

Getting There:

 By Car:
  If you are departing from San Jose, just head north towards Liberia. Once in Liberia you have to head west, pass the international airport and follow the signs. The whole trip should take you around 4 hours.
 

 By Bus:
 The Pullmitan (14th St, 1-3 Avenue; 222-1650) bus service can take you from San Jose to Liberia, and once there switch to the bus to Playas del Coco (666-0138), which departs 6 times a day.
