One is located in Guanacaste, while the other Playa Hermosa lies in Puntarenas. Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste is just 20 minutes from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia. One of the best maintained beaches in Costa Rica, Playa Hermosa offers visitors crystal clear blue waters and gorgeous scenery making it a very popular Pacific beach in northwestern Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Liberia is the closest major city to Playa Hermosa.

Winner of the ‘Bandera Azul’ or ‘Blue Flag’, a prize given to beaches that demonstrate high environmental standards and excellent safety facilities, the Playa Hermosa beach lies seven kilometers north of Playas del Coco. Playa Hermosa means ‘beautiful beach’ in English and has made a name for itself with its idyllic beauty and lush surroundings. With two-kilometers (1.2 miles) of long grey sand beach encircled by tropical forests and ridges of volcanic rock, small waves with little to no undertow, the Playa Hermosa Beach is a great family destination for all to enjoy.
