Playa Cabo Blanco

4.7(71 reviews)

About

Costa Rica visitors find Playa Cabo Blanco, a local business reached by the Malpais Canopy Tour Road in Puntarenas Province. The setting lies on the Pacific coast, well away from the capital.

Visitors give it 4.7 out of 5 from 71 reviews, a strong score for a coastal spot. Reaching it means travelling out along the peninsula road, so a vehicle and a planned day are sensible rather than a quick detour. San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde are the usual bases on an itinerary, and this stretch of Puntarenas sits closest to the Santa Teresa and Tamarindo side of the country. The address places it in Puntarenas Province, on the Pacific coast.

This is a beach and outdoor destination rather than a built attraction, with the shoreline itself as the main draw. Four photos give a sense of the sand and the surrounding vegetation before a visit.

Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, and it fuels an early start to the coast. The country was part of the Spanish empire until independence in 1821, and coffee shaped its economy from the nineteenth century. Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida.
