<h2>Beach Fun Times Four</h2>The four beaches in question are all relatively close to each other, but all attributes. Flamingo is known for its amazing sunsets, soft golden sand, and warm water. Playa Grande is a substantial natural beach, popular with surfers, where leatherback turtles come to nest. This is the largest Pacific coast leatherback nesting site in the Americas and, as such, is part of the Las Baulas Marine National Park. Those seeking some fun in the sun will love <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/tamarindo/stay/">Playa Tamarindo</a> - it’s an excellent beach for surfing, lessons, boogie boarding, and swimming. Finally, Playa Conchal is perhaps the most unique, with crushed shells covering the beach instead of sand. It's an excellent spot for snorkeling.The exact order in which you visit these four beaches depends on the tides of the day - we try to accommodate that to give you the best experience possible and the safest times to get in the water. But visiting all these beaches in the space of a day will undoubtedly allow you to decide what you prefer.Surfers and nature lovers will love the pounding waves and natural isolation of Playa Grande. With their laid-back vibes, restaurants, and activities, Lovers of beach towns will choose Tamarindo as their numero uno. Sunset and sand people will dig Flamingo, while snorkelers and instagramers will feel most at home visitng Conchal.But whatever type of beach lover you are, you're going to enjoy the ride and the experience of checking them all out. And you never know - you might find your paradise to stay in on your next Costa Rican vacation.Contact us for more info on this tour if you're interested in including it in your itinerary.&nbsp;<h2>FAQ:</h2><ul><li>Is there any good snorkeling in Guanacaste, Costa Rica? Although the region is more known for its surfing, there's still good snorkeling in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Look for calmer, more protected beaches that don't have big waves or beaches away from river mouths that cloud up the water. In addition, places like Playa Conchal, Playa Hermosa, and some secluded spots around the Papagayo Peninsula offer good snorkeling where you can see a variety of tropical fish.</li><li>Are there starfish in Costa Rica? Although they're not a common sight, there are starfish in Costa Rica; if you see one while snorkeling, please don't touch it or pick it up!</li><li>Does Costa Rica have a barrier reef? There are some small reefs in Costa Rica, on both Pacific and Caribbean coasts, although nothing significant enough to be considered a "barrier reef."</li><li>Who can do the Guanacaste Beaches &amp; Snorkeling Tour? You need to have the ability to swim to participate in surfing and snorkeling. However, if you just want to dip your toes, you can still join the tour. The minimum age is seven years old.</li></ul>

As soon as we landed we were in great hands! Very pleased with our excursions and accommodations. Our driver “Marlon Brando” was awesome. Planning and checking in on us throughout our vacation was appreciated. Thanks, Rachel, our trip was SO enjoyable!

Cindy - Rachel

This was the favorite place for the rest of my family. They all enjoyed the beach and boogie boarding here. The beach location was wonderful! It was very family oriented and much quieter and isolated. While here we did a snorkel boating trip... We even saw a howler monkey as we were leaving. The planned excursions and included transportation throughout our trip in Costa Rica made our trip so much easier to relax as we didn’t have to think about the planning for that.

Misty B - Flamingo Beach

We spent the second half of the trip in Playa Flamingo with an all-inclusive package and it was fantastic. Sunsets on the beach were amazing and we really enjoyed the relaxation! I will never visit Costa Rica without Costa Rican Vacations!

We just came back from a trip to Costa Rica. Shelly suggested the activities she thought we would enjoy and made all arrangements before we left for our trip. She was always available to answer our questions and was very accommodating when we revised our itinerary!
