Playa Bonita — Attraction in Limón

In Costa Rica all beaches are public property and you can walk to them from any direction. This one is no different. Playa Bonita also has public parking and you can walk to it. There's almost always a rip tip at this beach so be warned. Watch for the yellow and red flags. If you get caught in one DON'T PANIC, let it take you out, conserve your strength and then swim back. There are large sharp rock just beneath the water so watch out for those. If you want some beautiful beach pictures this is the place. Just come during late afternoons and you'll have the sun in you face and the beach...

Playa Bonita was beautiful with soft sand and powerful waves, but honestly it wasn’t my favorite beach for swimming. The waves were too big for me to feel comfortable, especially with kids. There also weren’t any bathrooms or places to rinse off, which made it a little tricky.

We still spent about two hours there enjoying the view and the feel of the sand, but I left wishing it had calmer water or at least some facilities nearby.

A fine hotel

This is one of the two hotels I love to go to in Limon. It has good air conditioned rooms. The management is wonderful. The restaurant is top notch. It is also near the beach. You need to walk a few minutes but I think of it as a plus. Also a pool but I prefer the beach. Wifi is free and rooms have good very strong air conditioning. It does get somewhat crowded but what do you expect? Good place...
