Playa Langosta Holidays

The Perfect Location Away From The Hustle And Bustle…

Lying on the west coast of Costa Rica, nestling on the stunning Pacific Ocean just south of Tamarindo, you’ll be delighted to discover the very peaceful resort of Playa Langosta. Those of you hoping for rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of some of the busier resorts will find the perfect location in holidays to Playa Langosta.

The rocky coastline offers small inlets of sandy beaches, perfect for some uninterrupted sun worshipping and a real ‘get away from it all’ feeling. The southern end of the beach is just near an estuary and has an excellent surf break making Playa Langosta holidays a firm favourite with the surf crowd. Amongst the volcanic outcrops are some very interesting rock pools, often worth investigating before retiring to the shade of an almond tree with a good book. The beach also has one of the various protected nesting areas for giant leatherback turtles found along this coastline, and from October to March, guides will take you to the best places to spot them.

Watch The Sun Set On A Sleepy Pacific Horizon…

Nearby Tamarindo has a good selection of bars and restaurants with menus catering for every palette including traditional Costa Rican dishes and fresh fish specialities of the day. Fishing is a way of life in this area and you simply have to try it in some form whilst on holidays in Playa Langosta. Whether it’s deep water, reef or shoreline fishing, you are always welcome to join in, even if it is just surf casting or handlining from the beach, and the friendly beachfront restaurants are more than happy to cook you your catch of the day.

Quaint beachfront bed and breakfasts line the shore meaning refreshments, drinks and your bed are never far away following a hard day’s work lazing on the beach. Some have pools and most have verandas where watching the pelicans play at the end of the day, and the sun set on a sleepy pacific horizon are some of the most memorable sights you are ever likely to see on holidays in Playa Langosta.
