A trip to Costa Rica isn't complete without an escape to the beach. Fortunately, with both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts on offer, there is no shortage of beaches to choose from. The beaches on both sides of the Nicoya Peninsula are sandy, palm-lined postcard stuff; the only difference is the sea and accommodation. You’ll find great year-round surfing on the Nicoya coast, with its warm water and long beaches, whereas the Pacific side of the Nicoya Peninsula and Guanacaste Province are ideal for active types, with superb surfing, horse riding, snorkelling and even windsurfing on mountain lakes.
Home to isolated and rugged beaches, nature reserves and quaint rural towns, Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula holidays offer off-the-beaten-track adventures. The southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula has grown in popularity in recent years and now has some stylish and exclusive hotels, while Montezuma and Santa Teresa are two emerging hot spots that enjoy a perpetual spring-like climate.
