Description

*Please confirm whether staying overnight is legal at this location.
.....
Beautiful place, the local government put toilets and showers for a cheap price. There are some tables and chairs around the beach for people to use. Very bad telephone signal. It says that it’s forbidden to camp, but during Holy Week we stayed here for two nights without any problem and many people too.
Beautiful beach, very safe, the police travel 3 or 4 times a day, there are no facilities, camping forbidden, the police take you out at night.
----- Hermosa playa, muy segura, la policia la recorre 3 o 4 veces al día, no hay facilidades, prohibido acampar, la policia te saca al llegar la noche.

we loved so much this beach, it is the top 1 for us here in Costa Rica, every night we got bioluminescence, so if you come here check the water in the night!
the water is crystal clear, there are some tables along the beach, many trash cans where they take the trash off every day!

at the end of the beach you can do a little hike to playa rajada and also a view Pont where you can see both beaches (raja and rajadita)
we slept here for a week, veru safe! there are some mini markets close by and places that you can fill water.

Very safe… we were here during easter so it was very busy with local camping people. But very nice, everyone was very friendly.

Parking on the beachfront. Several kiosks with tables for a large, flat picnic area. Police pass by a few times during the day, I spoke to them and they said they don't recommend spending the night here, but many pass by and have no reports of problems. we spent 2 nights here. Be careful with the soft sand to avoid running aground.

Estacionamento na beira da praia. Diversos quiosques com mesas para picnic local amplo, plano. A policiais passa algumas vezes durante o dia, conversei com eles e disseram que não recomendam passar a noite aqui, mas muitos passam e não tem nenhum relato de problemas. passamos 2 noites aqui. Cuidado com a areia fofa para não encalhar.

Superb beach! It is popular with locals but at night it is quiet. Although there were signs prohibiting sleeping here and even hours of attendance, we asked the police who were on patrol during the day and they allowed us to stay there. There were also two Costa Rican families sleeping in tents. The sunset is superb! I recommend the walk at low tide to Playa Rajadita, the coast and the beaches are magnificent: white sand, transparent water...

Gorgeous clean beaches. Stayed the night in our rooftop tent. Signs said no camping but we had no problems, no police checked in on us either. There are a ton of crabs on the beach which were fun to watch but a lot of warning signs for rip curls. My boyfriend swam decently far and was okay. No water or bathrooms. The police station up the road said we couldn’t use their water unlike what other comments were saying. We went over to Dreams Resort the next day and drove to the farthest lot and could fill up at a spigot near the outs side bar. Would recommend!

amazing spot! right on the beach. Lot of "private" space for any kind of rig with table and shade. we spent 4 days here without problems. police come 2 or 3 time in a day and didn't say anything. maybe not allowed for tent but you can ask. The beach is very clean as people come every morning to clean it, also lot of garbage bins. you can also snorkel at another small beach (playa rajadita) 10min walking.

Superbe endroit pour dormir au bord de la mer! Nous avons adoré! Il s'agit de plusieurs petits stationnements semi privés avec accès à la plage. Un peu d'ombre, tables de béton, poubelle. La plage est magnifique, l'eau est bonne, les couchers de soleil sont incroyable. Je recommande fortement!

Superb place to sleep by the sea! We have adored! These are several small parking lots with access to the beach. A little shade, concrete tables, garbage can. The beach is beautiful, the water is good, the sunsets are amazing. I highly recommend!

Great spot and nothing to add other than we asked two separate police officers if it was ok to camp and if it was safe. Yes to both questions.
