I have never encountered anything quite like this beach, which can only be described as a slice of heaven on earth. The tranquil and constant ebb and flow of the waves was accompanied by the melodic chatter of macaws feasting on juicy guava fruits. I can only hope that the splendor and serenity of this place will remain untouched for years to come, as it is truly a gem of nature. May the grace of Allah continue to bless this breathtaking beach.

This beach is fantastic, offering breathtaking views of the coastline, black sand beaches, and famous waves for surfers. The Lady in the Sea is an amazing sight, and during low tide, visitors can relax in the tide pools. There are a few small restaurants on the beach that are always busy. It's a great place for families to visit, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Immerse yourself in the Pura Vida lifestyle on these pristine beaches.

The locals are a friendly bunch, and you'll find yourself feeling right at home in no time. One of the highlights of our stay was the impromptu games of soccer that broke out on the sand. And let's not forget the lifeguards who were a wealth of information and always ready to lend a helping hand. The palm grove was a tranquil spot to watch the birds and lizards go about their business. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the fishermen cleaning their catches of the day. We stayed in an Airbnb for a week and made it a point to take in the breathtaking sunrise and sunset views during our daily walks. And to top it off, we had the honor of helping newly hatched sea turtles make
