Introducing Playa Brasilito
Somehow, Brasilito managed to avoid the overdevelopment that’s plagued much of northern Nicoya. One possible reason is that the grey-sand beach here is not nearly as pretty as nearby strips of white sand, and the lack of resorts and big hotels give the town a laid-back atmosphere. Playa Brasilito is popular with weekending Ticos and travelers ‘in the know, ’ who are drawn here for the relaxed beach scene, pleasant swimming, cheap accommodations and spectacular Pacific sunsets.
