Introducing Playa Carrillo

This beach begins about 4km southeast of Sámara and is a smaller, quieter, less-developed version. With its clean sand, rocky headlands and curving boulevard of palm trees, Carrillo is a postcard-perfect tropical beach. During weekends and holidays, the beach can get crowded with Tico families who descend from San José and Nicoya for a little fun in the sun.

The town is on a hillside above the beach and attracts a trickle of surfers working their way down the coast, as well as schools of American sportfishers chasing billfish.
