Review & FAQ:
Only about 30 km south of popular Jaco, along the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Playa Bejuco is worlds apart. This pristine, almost deserted beach has fine brown sand, almost like a cocoa powder, and is a popular bird nesting area. The birds are occasionally disturbed by avid surfers who discovered that Bejuco offers some pretty good surfing conditions.
The beach is shaded by palm trees and miles of farmland - the locals are still mostly occupied with agriculture and fishing. The tourism market has not taken off as of yet, but it is just a matter of time. Some small projects have started to sprout up already. Until the tourists come, you can spend hours walking along the beach, and not meet a soul. Enjoy crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling, take long hikes to the beach's end. Or, you can go fishing with one of the locals and experience Costa Rica the way it used to be.
