What Playa Hermosa Is Like
Playa Hermosa is a quiet beach community in northern Guanacaste, on the Gulf of Papagayo. The bay is calm and good for swimming, and the area feels more residential than touristy. Life moves slower here than in Playas del Coco, but Coco’s restaurants and nightlife are only about 15 minutes south.
