Those looking for tranquility can find it in a little beach town on the Caribbean side of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. This beach is best for surfing rather than swimming as the currents are strong but that does not interfere with using the beach for your yoga routines, walking under beautiful sunsets or simple feeling the warm sand under your feet. It has only one grocery store with a good wine selection, special imports and fresh produce. There is also a few restaurants, bars and a yoga studio.
Cocles isletas al fondo.
In Cocles its where many expat events are held. There is a beachfront bar that host a big party on Wednesday night and some smaller events throughout the week, otherwise the neighborhood is quiet.
Its really hard to try to leave this place.
This Neighborhood is popular with long-term vacationers and families. The surrounding beaches are calm for swimming and snorkeling, If you’re willing to explore and push beyond your boundaries you can rent a bike at any of the quiet Caribbean villages and head to the next beach not far from one another.
Flat paved roads connects the beach towns in Puerto Viejo.
Walking the beach is my favorite way to get around, unfortunately it is not safe to walk or ride your bicycle after dark outside of town.
The surf is realy strong here.
Rather than tell you where to find the magic, I’d rather encourage you to find it yourself. Walk every inch of sand from playa to playa and most definitely you’ll find it.
Hola peresoso!
You can also explore a nearby wildlife refuge with stunning rain forest animals without spending tons of money and at the same time help the local economy.
Ride a horse on the beach and spend time meeting the locals.
Sunsets are always stunning.
On weekdays many beaches outside of town remain completely deserted.
The beach sits empty most of the weekdays.
Take a walk during the day in the path connecting the beaches.
