Practically unknown to foreign tourists, Playa Zancudo is a sanctuary for those seeking peace and tranquility. Over 6 kilometers of black sand beach and crystal clear blue warm waters set the perfect scenery for an unforgettable getaway.

Located along the southern pacific coast of Costa Rica, Playa Zancudo lies near the town of Golfito along the Golfo Dulce. Unspoiled natural sceneries and idyllic coconut and almond trees border the entire beach allowing for visitors to relax and awe in the area’s beauty.

Playa Zancudo offers one of the country’s best swimming beaches in the country as well as recreational surfing towards its southern sector, perfect for body surfing and boogie boarding. The beach is also popular among backpackers and families due to its cheap accommodations as well as great typical restaurants and casual atmosphere.

Zancudo still remains a small fishing village with a few family businesses in the area. Roads are not asphalted and the region is not touristy thus keeping its quaint small town mystique.

Spectacular sunsets reward its residents and visitors alike and during starry nights, the ocean becomes alive with small phosphorescent marine life which light up the surface. A walk along the beach during a starry night will make you feel as if you were the only person there.

Definitely Zancudo Beach is the ideal place to get to know the true Costa Rican way of life in the coastal regions as well as explore and enjoy one of the country’s most beautiful and unspoiled beaches.
