Best Caribbean Beaches in Costa Rica

[TrailTrekkerTom]

Hi travelers!

I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica and I’m really interested in exploring the Caribbean side. I’ve heard a lot about the Pacific beaches, but not as much about the Caribbean ones.

I’m looking for recommendations on the best beaches to visit over there. I’m into chill vibes, clear water, and somewhere I can relax but also explore a bit (maybe snorkeling or hiking nearby). Any must-see spots?

And if you’ve been, how’s the vibe compared to the Pacific side?

Thanks!

Read your discussion, and I also visited Costa Rica. It is the best and most beautiful Country in Central America. It is famous for its national parks, volcanoes, and wildlife. I went there and I visited the beaches, national parks, waterfalls, and museums.

Consider visiting Puerto Viejo de Talamanca for its vibrant atmosphere and nearby Cahuita National Park for snorkeling and hiking. Playa Cocles and Manzanillo offer serene beaches, while Punta Uva is perfect for relaxation and clear waters.

I read your conversation, and I went to Costa Rica as well. It is Central America's finest and most picturesque nation. It is well-known for its animals, volcanoes, and national parks. I went there and explored the museums, national parks, beaches, and waterfalls.

For a relaxing Caribbean experience in Costa Rica, I recommend visiting Playa Cocles and Puerto Viejo, where you can enjoy clear waters, great snorkeling, and nearby hiking trails, all with a laid-back vibe that's different from the Pacific side.

Costa Rica's Caribbean coast is stunning! For chill vibes and clear water, check out Playa Cocles or Manzanillo – perfect for snorkeling and hiking in the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. Totally different vibe than the Pacific. Speaking of chill, sometimes I unwind playing Block Blast !
