A Costa Rican Pacific beach with warm waters and sandy bottom suitable for beginner to intermediate swimmers. The relatively calm conditions in the bay area make it family-friendly, though the beach can have occasional current variations. Wear water shoes as the sand and entry can have rocky patches.
