About: This is one of 4 beaches with public access on the Papagayo Peninsula. The other 3 are Playa Nacascolo, Playa Prieta, and Playa Virador. They are all located within a sort of luxury resort compound that consists of resorts like Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and Planet Hollywood. Non-guests are not allowed inside the “compound” unless using their free shuttle service that stops at these 4 beaches. There is a large parking lot where you can park your car for free, and then take the shuttle to whichever beach you like. Playa Nacascolo is the first stop on the shuttle. There are no steps to reach the beach from the shuttle drop-off point, so it is a great option for young kids or those with limited mobility, or if you have a lot of stuff to carry. It is a short walk down a platform trail. There are no shops or restaurants, so you must bring all your food and drinks for the day. However, there are often monkeys and pizotes nearby trying to steal food, so you have to guard it well. There are showers and bathrooms at the shuttle drop-off. It is a beautiful beach with white sand, blue water, and calm waves for children to play in safely. However there are jellyfish during certain times of year, so ask around or be on the lookout.
