Playa Grande, Costa Rica — A Protected Coastal Sanctuary

Along Costa Rica’s Gold Coast within Las Baulas National Marine Park, Playa Grande offers a rare combination of wide-open shoreline, consistent surf, and an uncrowded natural setting. Here, the beach and park landscape are immediately accessible—ideal for morning walks, time in the water, and sunset evenings that give way to star-filled skies. Peaceful and private yet convenient, Playa Grande also features walkable restaurants, surf shops, and wellness offerings, with Tamarindo’s additional dining, shopping, and nightlife just a short drive away.

Many visitors return for the true beachfront atmosphere, responsive local support, and the calm, walkable community.
