It’s a beautiful spot to visit, to take photographs, and to spend there the morning or the evening. Since it’s a little off the beaten path, it’s rarely crowded, and many tourists choose to spend the day there because of that.
Playa Chiquita
Located between Playa Cocles and the Punta Uva area, you will find a tiny, yet marvelous beach in Playa Chiquita. You can only reach Playa Chiquita walking to it, making it a perfect final destination for your daily hike.
Playa Chiquita is a crowd-free and completely unspoiled beach. A stunning spot for couples to relax and enjoy the sand, the waters, and the palm trees.
Punta Uva
Punta Uva is an area located less than 6 miles south from the town of Puerto Viejo. Its beaches are recommended for families with kids, since the coral reef prevents big waves, making it an excellent spot for swimming and water-related activities.
There’s a little peninsula in the middle of its two main beaches, where visitors can get after hiking a little. It’s a beautiful place to take photographs and enjoy the scenery.
There are many gastronomic options in the area and things to do. You can spend two full days visiting the whole Punta Uva area.
