For business purposes, my team and I were required to visit Playa Ventanas to perform a topographical survey of the landmarks that define the Public Zone. Despite the work aspect, the boat ride to the beach was truly breathtaking. The scenery was simply stunning, and I found myself completely immersed in the natural beauty around me. The journey itself lasted approximately 25-30 minutes, departing from the pier in Paquera, as there are no roads that lead to Ventanas by land. However, the little beach itself was the real highlight of the trip. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder as I gazed out at the crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. Overall, the experience was truly unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
