Playa Roble
Situated near Conchal in Guanacaste, in the area known as the Bay of Pirates, Roble is a beautiful white sand beach with few waves.
The turquoise color of the water stands out because of the huge stones that adorn the bottom of the sea, creating an extraordinary landscape. At the edge of the beach, the trees provide shade.

Playa Calzón de Pobre
Playa Calzón de Pobre is just as peculiar as its name, which means “poor man’s underwear”. It is a small spot located in Carrillo, Guanacaste, but it has everything you need to relax: white sand, crystal clear water, gentle waves and few rocks. Before entering the site, a security guard will ask you for your information, part of the protocol for a tourism complex that is being built nearby.
