Marina Papagayo

Costa Rica's Guanacaste coastline is known as the Golden Coast, famous for its glistening sands and lush tropical backgrounds. The Papagayo Peninsula sits squarely in the middle of this golden stretch, and has over 31 beaches to explore.

Allied to clear water and a perfect temperature for swimming, these sunny ocean-side playgrounds are perfect for families and those wishing for some private time to themselves. Constantly warm at 80˚-83˚, the Gulf's waters will entertain guests year-round, whether they're kayaking, snorkeling, diving or just having fun. Bring a picnic, build sandcastles with local artists and enjoy the feel of warm summer sand between tired toes….

All beaches are public, but secluded and accessible. Resort transportation is also available.
