Review:
Stretched along the magnificent Caribbean coast, Playa Chiquita is just southeast of Puerto Viejo and is about four-hour drive from San Jose. Huge and almost deserted, Playa Chiquita is perfect for those who want to enjoy fine sand and swim in clear waters on their own. The beach consists of several small bays, so it is easy to find your own quiet stretch of the beach with no other soul in sight.
The fact that there is no direct road access to the beach, which is accessible only by several trails, helps to keep the beach remain secluded. The beach is spectacular for snorkeling or diving coral reefs. Swim with caution, because the water can get rough. There is no real shopping area in the village but there are a few restaurants and services along the main road.
