I found this beach to be stunning and peaceful. It's a regular stop on our ATV tour. The low tide reveals a unique arrangement of stones, which I really enjoy.

Out of all the beaches I visited in Costa Rica, this one didn't quite meet my expectations. However, it is worth noting that this beach is easily accessible.
