Playa Bejuco

Península de Nicoya


South of Punta Islita (and not to be confused with a beach of the same name south of Jacó), Playa Bejuco has reddish-brown sand, crystal-clear water and plenty of opportunity for surfing, sunbathing and wildlife-watching. A nearby village of the same name is quaint and hospitable.
