Corcovado Beaches
-
Llorona is a spectacular beach that can be accessed through the San Pedrillo Station. This is a long hike trail that will be rewarded by the beauty of this long beach which in low tide is very nice for swimming.
Corcovado is the next long beach with similar conditions to Llorona. Access to this beach is possible through the Sirena Station.
Sirena beach is a high energy beach with rip currents and bull sharks. Swimming is not recommended here.
Madrigal is a stunning, isolated beach near to La Leona Ranger Station good for swimming and kayaking.
All around the park’s beaches at least 4 species of marine turtles laid their eggs in relatively large numbers. Dolphins, bull sharks and three species of whales including the humpback, can often be seen.
Several nature lodges are located along the coast near Corcovado both from north and south ends of the park.
