Gorgeous beach experience in Costa Rica

Beach

Message from

This small stretch of beach is best accessed at low tide and is a fantastic place to relax – especially if you prefer to stay away from the crowds.

Playa Arco is a secret beach located on the Southern Zone of Costa Rica between Uvita and Ojochal, close to Manuel Antonio and Dominical. While not the easiest to access, it rewards visitors with spectacular views and a plethora of activities - from admiring the lush jungle backdrop behind the beach to exploring an adventure-filled cave at low tide and even enjoying two small waterfalls. With howler monkeys providing a warm greeting, Playa Arco is a must visit spot for an unforgettable beach experience.
