Playa El Coco
Description
Its waters are calm and the beach is not very crowded, making it the perfect place to visit and relax. Its shape is elongated, but like other beaches in the area, it has limits of rock formations and vegetation.
Excursions on horseback or by bicycle to the surrounding towns, soccer and beach volleyball, panga rides to Bolaños Island. These activities are managed by the staff of the Marine Park.
There are accommodation options in one place where there is also a restaurant. The rest of the land is private, although very few are built. At the right end of the beach there is a small well-stocked mini-super, which caters to all visitors.
How to get
In private transport you should go to San Juan del Sur, and a little before the entrance to the town, take the dirt road (pavement start) that goes towards “El Ostional”. In about 20 minutes you can be there.
In public transport the trip can take longer, due to the constant stops along the way. From the municipal market of the town of San Juan del Sur you must take a bus bound for “El Ostional”. If you want to get there faster, you can also negotiate a rate with the San Juan del Sur taxi drivers, who are in the market.
The initial part of the road is paved, but this ends soon and the dirt road begins which is passable all year round, although during the winter it can become uncomfortable.
