Coco Beach is ideal if you are looking for a relaxed town with a beach vibe.

Coco Beach is recognized for its accessibility to supreme fishing areas and scuba diving locations and being the midway point to Witches Rock, a world-famous surfing spot. 

<h2>“El Coco”- A Place Where You Can Find a Genuine Charm of Costa Rica&nbsp;</h2>The sand is a dark tan with generally calm waters owing to a sheltered location on the Papagayo gulf; there are some rock formations, so watch your toes. Those clear waters typically harbor several small and recreational boats that add to the character of the place.&nbsp;Coco remains a place locals visit consistently, so you get a lot of interaction and local flavor. A vast array of bars, restaurants and shops from the town’s main road, leading to the main beach, a perfectly positioned hub to go on various tours in the area. Year-end holidays and Easter (and even high season weekends) can be pretty busy as local families also use their free time here. While Coco Beach is family-friendly during the day, the nightlife is pretty active and best for the adults-only set. The beach is relatively small and surrounded by hills dotted with villas. Due to the geography, there aren’t many hotels close to the beach. &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646935418/coco_beach_shore_3692db195d.jpg" alt="coco-beach-shore.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646935419/thumbnail_coco_beach_shore_3692db195d.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646935422/small_coco_beach_shore_3692db195d.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646935421/medium_coco_beach_shore_3692db195d.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646935420/large_coco_beach_shore_3692db195d.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h3>Best Time to Travel to Playas del Coco</h3>Coco has consistently warm temperatures year-round.
