Ssshhh…It’s A Secret…
For a taste of true Costa Rican lifestyle, then head straight to Playa Matapalo; a beach that is off the beaten track where life really does feel like it is standing still.
Nestling between Manuel Antonio and Dominical, you feel the need to whisper about holidays to Playa Matapalo as they appear to be one of the best kept secrets on Costa Rica holidays.
There are a couple of traditional bed and breakfasts along the beach here and they really do provide the ultimate in laid back hospitality. The locals ‘happy go lucky’ approach to life is infectious and time is simply not an issue on Playa Matapalo holidays.
Relaxing on the beach with a good book, don’t be surprised if you are joined by a few inquisitive howler monkeys, the odd sloth or a toucan or two. You will slip easily into the Costa Rican way of life and a spot of fishing is an absolute must on all holidays in Playa Matapalo. Snapper fish which weigh up to 30lbs are known to have been caught in these areas and your friendly landlady will happily cook your catch of the day for your supper.
