Playa Zancudo....miles of tranquil unspoiled beauty
Considered by many to be one of the best beaches in Costa Rica, Playa Zancudo is a
gorgeous black sand beach located around 20 km south of Golfito n the Puntarenas province.
The perfect location for a relaxing vacation, Playa Zancudo offers fishermen,
surfers and families, alike a fantastic getaway to an area that is far from the hustle and
bustle of Costa Rica’s other beaches.
With unspoiled sceneries and totally natural surroundings, this beach is a
haven for those who want a tranquil vacation.
A relatively quiet beach, Playa Zancudo is thought
to have some of the best swimming on
Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast. However, what people do not realize is that this
beach is an excellent surfing and sport fishing destination as well. Lying on the southern bank
of the Rio Coto Colorado, Playa Zancudo also lies near a mangrove swamp with great
opportunities to view much of the local wildlife. Watch out for the many birds, monkeys and
crocodiles that live in the area! Right from the front entrance of Casa Mar Zafiro you can
witness a chorus of howler monkeys at dusk and dawn!
With a 6-km long beach that is mostly flat, the crystal
clear blue waters of the
Pacific calmly roll onto the shores of Zancudo beach to create gentle surf that is ideal for
all to relax and enjoy. While the northern end of the beach is mostly calm,
he far south has waves that are intense enough to surf. For those who enjoy boogie
boarding or body surfing, the central beach area of Playa Zancudo known as
Arena Alta is just right. With spectacular sunsets, this beach turns into a
magical realm on a starry night, as small phosphorescent marine life light up the
waters of the beach to present a scene like no other. During the day,
this beach has wonderful views across the
Golfo Dulce into the bay. Playa Zancudo has great food, a number of bars,
restaurants and discos, and a casual atmosphere with friendly locals
making it the ultimate holiday escape.
Here, the Pacific Ocean is your
playground where you can indulge in a variety of
water sports including: sport fishing, snorkeling, horseback riding, kayaking, or
tours of the nearby Rio Coto Colorado. For land lovers, you can visit the
Casa Orquideas Botanical Gardens and The Wild Life Rescue Center
or hike trails close to the
river.
