Introducing Playa Naranjo
This tiny village next to the ferry terminal is nothing more than a few sodas and small hotels that cater to travelers either waiting for the ferry or arriving from Puntarenas. There really isn’t any reason to hang around, and thankfully you probably won’t have to as the ferries tend to run reasonably on time.

If you get stuck at the port for a night, the Hotel El Ancla (661 3887; d without/with air-con US$45/55; ) is just 200m from the pier. Rooms with cold-water bathrooms seem a bit pricey, but there’s a pool, bar and restaurant to help kill the time.
There’s a small soda next to the ferry port, as well as a few vendors selling shaved ice and other goodies.
