Playa Bonita near Limón
Playa Bonita is a separate coastal stop outside downtown. Observe the shoreline and surf from a suitable entrance. Conditions can include strong waves, so choose activities using current local warnings rather than the beach’s inviting name.
Playa Rosada / Cuarzo
Near Garza, Playa Cuarzo is also called Playa Rosada for the subtle pink tones in its sand. Look closely at the shore’s changing colors without collecting shells or stones. Ask locally about the permitted approach and tide-dependent access.
Quepos and Its Neighboring Coast
Quepos is a coastal town rather than the national park itself. Use it as a starting point for a public waterfront walk, then plan any park or beach visit with its own entrance and transport arrangements.
Railway Heritage by the Marine Park
The local tourism information places the marine park at the historic train station site. Notice how transport shaped a port city and how old spaces gain new uses. Stay within current visitor areas rather than exploring restricted infrastructure.
