Drake Bay is a cute little town which is a great base for visiting Corcovado Nationalpark or to go Diving at Isla Cano.

Drake Bay itself has a beautiful beach, but there are usually quite a few boats because of all the tours starting from here. Besides, unfortunately, you can not see the sunset from the bay.

For swimming and spending an afternoon, including sunset, we recommend Cocalito Beach. There is a beautiful hiking trail from Drake Bay which you can follow for about 45 min to get to this beach. It’s a lovely and small beach with some trees for shade and great for swimming.
