Penca Beach, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

playa penca

The most beautiful beach in Carrillo

Almost virginal, perhaps due to its difficult access (a 4×4 is recommended and cars must be parked 1.5 km from the beach, from there you must walk, as there is only a pedestrian crossing) it maintains a clean, pure appearance.

A heavenly beach with white sand and calm, crystalline waters. It seduces true beach lovers. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful in the area but curiously it is not the most popular for those who visit El Coco.
