An Afternoon at Playa Danta

Playa Danta, Costa Rica

My wife and I recently spent an afternoon with some friends at Playa Danta near Playa Tamarindo. You need to head toward Brasilito and then follow the signs to Playa Danta. The roads to Brasilito are all paved roads but Brasilito to Playa Danta are all dirt roads.

Playa Danta is a very enjoyable way to spend a nice afternoon with friends. There are many activities available there some are free such as hiking on their trails and enjoying the beach. There is a concession on the beach “Pura Vida Ride” and they provide a variety of activities for a fee, including stand up paddle boards, ocean kayaking, mountain biking, snorkel equipment and more. There is also a restaurant and bar there, they offer a variety of sandwiches, pizzas, and more.

We went for a hike on the trails and were rewarded for our effort with a fantastic view of the beach below and a view to Flamingo Beach. On the beach there are plenty of shady areas to sit under the trees and enjoy your favorite cold drink.. If you want to get away from the activities where most people congregate a walk of 100 meters down the beach and you can have yourself a piece of private beach with the exception of some occasional people strolling down the beach.

If you want to go to the beach and want to get away from the crowds of the popular beaches this is a good option.
