Papagayo Beach

Our hotel took its name from a neighboring beach, Papagayo Beach (Parrot Beach in English). Although only a 10 minute walk from our hotel, Papagayo Beach is fairly remote, with no infrastructure such as bars or even restrooms. It is sandwiched between two bluffs that give somewhat adventurous types a gorgeous view in both directions.

Here’s the approach to the beach from the hotel.

Here’s the view from the “western bluff”.

And now toward the west from the eastern bluff.

As you walk down the treacherously rocky coastline east, you find a series of remote beaches of various sizes (that attract a fair number of nudists (sorry, no video)!).
