Danta Beach

9:15 a.m., the beach was deserted and the shore was huge! The youngsters in our group had a superb time playing in the soft sand. We all enjoyed swimming out to the raft and bobbing in the waves. Two of us walked to Dantita via the rocks/beach. It was spectacular as well. As the day progressed, the shore slowly disappeared as the tide came in and the waves got bigger. We enjoyed body surfing for quite some time. Take note, there are no public bathrooms. There are several trails you can take for a hike from the public parking area. We paid 3000 CRC to park for the day. This might be one of our favourite beaches along this coast. So nice not to have a pile of people. The villas in the hills give a very European vibe.

Pretty and easy to access. They’ll charge you for Parking, but you can nestle under a tree for some free shade! This being said, if you’re up for it, 1.3km hike down the trail takes you to a way nicer spot… Playa Danita

Beautiful beach. Lovely drive from Playa Grande. Main road in Las Catalinas is under heavy construction and lanes are blocked off. Other than traffic everything about our experience was lovely. Many restaurants strips away from the beach.

Cute little village that’s a great spot to see a beautiful sunset. Lots of restaurants. I don’t know if I found the tourists very friendly seemed a bit cold. It was as if we were intruding. Also people drive quite fast around the bend that barely fits two cars.

Great beach that has nicer surf on windy days. Great dark sand. Trees for shade. Very few people in April. Top spot. The sun sets behind the hills to the north at this time of year so you will not see it disappear at the horizon.

Beautiful clear water not many waves great for kids. Small easy hike. There's also another beach adjacent Dantita it's well worth the extra hike or during low tide you can cross over by the rocks.

Swam with the pelicans whilst they fed on the fish! Tide comes in at around 3pm, head for the dry sand or you'll get taken out to sea!

One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen in Guanacaste 😍 The water has this rich turquoise color. You can hike up the mountain and see the gorgeous views pictured here.
