It should be noted that you have to go past Playa Conchal to get to Playa Flamingo. It is just another 5 minute drive, so while you pass Conchal first you can be in the water at Flamingo quicker. .
I went to Costa Rica 6 years in a row, from '95 through '00. I've forgotten the names of the beaches I visited. I fell in love with a Tica, but it didn't work out.
TIME STAMPS 0:10 PLAYA CONCHAL 1:28 PLAYA FLAMINGO 2:13 PLAYA GRANDE 2:45 PLAYA AVELLANAS 3:30 PLAYA LANGOSTA WHICH BEACH DO YOU WANT TO VISIT? Let us know!
I would also recommend to stay out of Tamarindo entirely and visit the small towns and beaches instead. The last year or so has seen crazy violence increase, like gun fights in broad daylight on la avenida and right out in the beach drug dealers will shoot at each other in front of thousands of tourists. Costa Rica has still great destinations. Pick the quiet towns. Pura Vida.
Thank you. This helped a lot. Going to Guanacaste for the first time in a week (August 2021). Playa Avellanas looks great! I was thinking of playa conchal but seems hard to get to without a car and not much else besides a nice beach (rugged).
So many options in that area! You should make part 2 with Minas, Penca, Potrero, Bahia Piratas.and Danta\Dantita which is my favorite family beach great for kids to booggy board.
There are taxis in the area, public buses not really. Taxi or car rentals are the best way to get around this area (no Ubers here either) There is a taxi boat that goes from Grande - Tamarindo
Not too much rain in June. And if it does rain it usually rains early morning or late afternoon so you have all day to enjoy the beaches. But with all weather just expect the worst and hope for the best
Thank you! That was really helpful! Excited to visit all of them!

In actuality, those are really the most stunning ones I have seen so far. Thanks for helpful information.

Conchal is beautiful and if you can get to Brasilito, you'll be able to walk to the beach from there. Hope you have a good time

Yes! Actually you just guessed what this weeks video is :D
Hi, if we stay in Playa Grande are there buses or taxis or boats to get to these other beaches? Thx

Super informative video! I'll be there in early June. Do you suggest the sun will still be out or should I expect lots of rain?
Thank you! Hard to say, rainy season usually on the Guanacaste coast is cloudy in mornings, off & on rains in afternoons and nights
