Playa Langosta is a residential neighborhood with plenty of condos, rental homes and hotels around the area. 

Playa Langosta is perfect for surfing, relaxing at the beach, renting kayaks and watching the sunset.

<h2>Discover Langosta Beach: A Calm and Beautiful Gem</h2>Playa Langosta is located just south of Tamarindo in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. You could consider Playa Langosta a part of Tamarindo, similar to a quiet and laid-back suburb. The community is mainly dotted with small bed &amp; breakfasts, condos, and rental homes that range from simple to extravagant.The beach itself is a long one and one of Costa Rica's prime surfing spots. Therefore, currents can be vital, especially on a falling tide. The sand is a lovely, cotton-like white color and is lined with natural foliage for shade. It's a great beach to find peace, walk south, watch the surfers, and enjoy the sunset. Playa Langosta is perfect for a picnic lunch while getting away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1648742968/langosta_beach_trail_fa5530fd46.jpg" alt="langosta-beach-trail.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1648742969/thumbnail_langosta_beach_trail_fa5530fd46.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1648742970/small_langosta_beach_trail_fa5530fd46.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1648742970/medium_langosta_beach_trail_fa5530fd46.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1648742970/large_langosta_beach_trail_fa5530fd46.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h3>Best Time to Travel to Playa Langosta</h3>Playa Langosta is great to visit year-round.

This means you're all set when you arrive in-country - just sit back, relax, and our driver will get you to your destination.If you're driving from Guanacaste Airport to Tamarindo, give yourself just over an hour's driving time - say 1 hour, 15 minutes to be on the safe side. Then, if you're renting a car at the airport, allow yourself an hour or so to sort that out.Head out of the airport onto the main road, and turn right, heading away from Liberia. Keep following this road through, ignoring traffic, turning off to the right towards other beaches. You want to keep going through Filadelfia until you reach Belen. It's here, in Belen, that you take your right turn at the gas station. After that, you stay straight on this road, following the traffic, as they're likely heading to Tamarindo.Soon, you'll come to Huacas and a V-shaped junction. Take the left hand of the V, heading towards the south. After passing a couple of supermarkets, you'll find Villareal, a "suburburb" of Tamarindo. There's a switchback of a right-hand turn, leading you directly into town. You'll pass the airstrip, the AutoMercado, and see the Pacific Ocean. You're now in Tamarindo.Drive along the main road, with the beach to your right, passing the Tamarindo Diria and other hotels, shops, and restaurants. You'll come to a V-shaped junction where you need to take a left. Drive towards the big condos you'll see (Pacific Park) and take a right.
