Hermosa means beautiful in Spanish and while practically every beach on Guanacaste province s northwest coast could be described as beautiful only one has that name You can find Playa Hermosa in between Playa del Coco and Playa Panama just below Punta Mala Open up a beach chair on Playa Hermosa s gray sand and relax to views of mountains on either side and sailboats out on the blue ocean The waters here are calm which make it a favored destination for folks who prefer to swim rather than go surfing Playa Hermosa Costa Rica beachfront properties are located on the hills that overlook the beach giving a prime view not only of the sailboats but of the tip of Papagayo Peninsula to the north and the sunsets behind Papagayo are truly beautiful to watch

Beachfront properties in Playa Hermosa Costa Rica

There are actually two towns and beaches named Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica and the other near Jaco in Puntarenas is a prime surfing spot But Playa Hermosa Guanacaste is as mentioned above a wonderful swimming and scuba diving spot because of its calm waters Playa Hermosa Costa Rica beachfront properties have beautiful views because they have a higher elevation than the beach itself and so people can relax on their verandas and take in the beauty of the nature that surrounds them The actual beach is a mile long and lined with shade trees that add to its beauty The beach sand is grey because of its volcanic nature and absorbs the heat of the sun For this reason most visitors in the know come to the beach in early morning or late afternoon
