Sandwiched between Nicaragua in the north and Panama in the south, Costa Rica boasts both<br />

Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. If you like beaches, you’ll love this tourist-friendly country. It’s not<br />

named the “rich coast” by mistake.<br />

As a country that has two of the most enviable coastlines<br />

in the world, visitors are spoiled for choice and have the<br />

luxury of choosing one or both sides of the country during<br />

their visit.<br />

The east coast of Costa Rica, which faces the Caribbean<br />

Sea, is punctuated with both black volcanic sand beaches<br />

and the kind of white sand beaches you can only picture<br />

in your dreams. The gently swaying palm trees and lush<br />

tropical rainforest all add to the experience.<br />

For a memorable visit, Cahuita<br />

National Park isn’t just full of<br />

exotic birds, insects, and<br />

plants but also two of the<br />

country’s finest beaches.<br />

Playa Blanca is a white<br />

sand beach with amazing<br />

surf and Puerto Vargas<br />

possesses some of the<br />

bluest waters in the country.<br />

The Pacific Coast of the<br />

country is different but no<br />

less enjoyable. Head out to<br />

Guanacaste for its diverse<br />

collection of stunning<br />

beaches and unrivalled<br />

opportunities to explore<br />

coral reefs – and the<br />

marine life they protect.<br />

Just when you think the<br />

Gold Coast of Costa Rica<br />

has nothing left to offer when<br />

it comes to memorable beaches,<br />

there’s Playa Conchal to take your<br />

breath away. It’s a pink sand beach, a rare sight in this<br />

part of the world made from the tiniest crushed shells.<br />
