Playa del Coco has
quite an infrastructure: Many Hotels,
Casino, Discos and Restaurants and places to shop. This is the
most accessible and and frequently visited beach
in Guanacaste Province.
The scenery consists of the
horseshoe-shaped Coco Bay and steep hills and cliffs. It is a
good place to have fun but not to rest.
The main attractions are the
tourist facilities and hotels and the sun, which shines longer
and more brightly here than anywhere else in Costa Rica. In this
regard it is worth mentioning, that 16th of April and 28th of
August are days when there is the greatest concentration of
solar energy per area-unit. It is therefore unwise to sunbath
near high noon (11-12). In a Country like Costa Rica, due to the
angle of the sun over the horizon, it is best to sunbathe in the
morning (8:30-10:00) or in the afternoon (2:00-5:30).
The view from the Bay includes
Pelonas Islands, Cacique Point to the northwest and Centinela
Point. Other attractions are the near beaches of Hermosa, Ocotal
and Panamá.
