Playa Cabuyal

Posted on September 18, 2025March 18, 2025 by Ultimate Guide

About: This is a great family beach. It is a good middle ground between touristy and off the beaten path. It is still popular (mostly with locals) on weekends and holidays, and can even get crowded, though nothing like the really popular spots like Tamarindo. There is a restaurant and some snacks sold on the beach. It can be great for boogie boarding or body surfing. There is no shade close to the water, so definitely bring a shade tent to avoid getting cooked.

Province: Guanacaste

Starting from: Liberia

Time to reach from starting location: 54 minutes

Time needed for activity: as much as you want

Kid friendly: Yes

Wheelchair accessible: No

What to wear and bring: Comfortable clothes, sandals or water shoes, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, sunglasses, umbrella or shade, camera, backpack, water, snacks, pack lunch

Tips: There are often stingrays, so make sure to do the shuffle step, though the water is very clear and it’s easy to spot them. Sometimes they play in the waves and jump out of the water, which is a treat to see. Don’t leave valuables unattended.
