Palo Seco Beach — Attraction in Puntarenas Province

If you want to stay away of large groups of people and/or tourists, this is your place. Do not expect 5 star hotels or installations but is nice and very quiet . There are a couple of hotels where you can stay confortable, but not luxurious at all. Just be very careful when swimming. There are treacherous rip tides or currents so stay in waist deep water at most or just stay under the hundreds of palm trees ane enjoy the view. Wait for sunset with your loved ones and have your camera ready if you like to take pictures of the gorgeous scenarios. When you access the beach, to the left side there is a bar called Mar y Sol. Ask for ceviche there, really good and recommended with a cold beer. Hope you enjoy your stay...

The area is very quiet and away from it all. If you stay further down like we did it will take you 15 minutes to get back to town. So load up on food (and liquor ;) ) and chill away. We cannot...
