Playa Grande, Guanacaste
Located along the north Pacific Coast in Guanacaste province, Playa Grande is a vital part of the Marino Las Baulas National Park. After being incorporated into the park in 1990, the beach has been open to the public, but remains a highly protected region because it is a nesting site of the leatherback turtles. The pristine shoreline and crystal blue waters of Playa Grande make this one of the most beautiful beaches in Guanacaste.Leatherback Turtles
This beach is only accessible during the day because it is patrolled by police after 6 p.m. to help protect the nesting sites of leatherback turtles.
Between October and May, turtles come ashore to lay their eggs during the night.
Playa Grande is considered to be the most important nesting site of these turtles, and locals take pride in protecting this land for these massive creatures.
As the largest of the sea turtles, leatherbacks can grow to be seven feet long and weigh up to 700 kilograms! Travelers wanting to catch a glimpse of these shy creatures can attend a tour from Playa Grande to Tamarindo.

Visiting Playa Avellana
Like many other spots along Guanacaste, Costa Rica’s North Pacific Coast, Playa Avellana is known for its beautiful white 
sand beaches and great surf conditions. Unlike many of its neighbors, such as the bustling Tamarindo, Playa Avellana has a more laid-back atmosphere that may be more appealing if you’re seeking rest and rejuvenation.
Playa Avellana Costa Rica also offers plenty of opportunities to get in touch with nature. Take a trip to see a rare baby
leatherback turtle, or simply keep your eyes peeled for a local celebrity known as Lola. The 400-kilogram pig can often be found wandering along the beach to nap and bathe in the sand.
Playa Avellana is best known as a beach town, and it’s not hard to see why. With great opportunities for surfing and other beachside activities, it has more than earned its reputation, but that’s far from all there is to do.
