Zancudo Beach - Costa Rica Beach

Zancudo Beach

This 4.5 miles long dark sand beach has enough space for different tastes. For those looking for relaxing, some areas are very good for swimming and small wave action good for boogie board. You can walk on the beach or just rest under the shade of the palm trees. At the southern end of this beach, wave action is stronger.

There are a few nice lodges in the area well equipped for the tourist. However, since the closet town is Golfito, there are many options for accommodations and dinning out according to budget.
