Pacific Coast Beach Trip

The North Pacific Coast with its pristine beaches and azure waters is a slice of tropical paradise. Also known as the Gold Coast, this picturesque region extends from the Nicoya Peninsula right up to Papagayo Bay. The sunny climate and the quaint laid back towns with meandering dirt roads here are a magnet for tourists. While the warm waters are home to a variety of marine life including coral reefs and humpback whales, the long coastline offers a choice of watersports. Secluded Playa El Jobo lies along Salinas Bay and is a popular spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Playa Conchal, named for the white seashells found in abundance here, is perfect for swimming and leisurely walks on the sand.
