Come along!
First you should know that the Spanish word for beach is Playa.
And one of the most beautiful in Costa Rica is Playa Conchal.
For something a bit more touristy...you might consider Playa Manzanillo.
A private beach surrounded by all-inclusive resort hotels. Umbrellas and umbrella drinks. Parasailing...diving...snorkeling...and many other "aquatic adventures" await. Caveat...can be uncomfortably crowded during the high season and unlike other Central American countries..Costa Rica is very...very...very expensive.
No Chicken Bus, here.
Playa Montezuma is kind of middle of the road...not crowed but comfortable. Quiet, but has a resort on location without the opulence and price of Manzanillo.
Some sandy beach-front...but also some stony and beautiful trails to hike.
If you want umbrella drinks, well, you will have to fetch your own.
Which brings us to Nosara...
Not a particularly beautiful beach...but the place to be in Costa Rica if "hanging ten" is your thing.
Surfers come from everywhere for the gnarly waves and beach town feeling, here.
For wildlife viewing...nothing beats Costa Ballena.
Whale Watching
Seals
Sea Turtles...and more...at Marino Ballena National Park!
Possibly the most remote and hardest to access is Tamarindo.
Beautiful, flat sandy beach nestled in a cove by the trees.
Getting to this one is an adventure all by itself...but if you want privacy...this is the beach for you.
Lastly, the BEST in eco-tourism.
Manuel Antonio National Park.
Offering everything from scuba diving and snorkeling to sports-fishing!
Spend the day kayaking...
hiking the boardwalk trails through the rain-forest...
or just exploring and enjoying the sandy beaches!
