Check out Pedasi, Panama or Playa Uvita/Bahai, Costa Rica. A r/t flight thru www.kayak.com sometimes is $260-300.... a local hostel or backpacker hotel is around $10 a nite OR if you are adventurous take a good mosquito proofed hammock and camp out for free!
I've done both and enjoyed both the hammock camping and the hostels.

commented on Looking to travel somewhere this July with beautiful beaches. Problem is airfare from DC to everywhere is so expensive. Dream is Thailand but it costs $2k per person to fly there! What should be my # 2 that may be less expensive? in The Quest for the Perfect Beach

I've been living in Costa Rica for the past 2 years. There are pluses and minuses... hey it's life. I prefer living somewhere about 3 months, learning the basics from neighbors and all and then moving on to another spot. House-sitting is a good way to do that. Short term rentals also work. I've spent the past year in an Indigenous Village near Palmar Norte - VERY enlightening - especially since I didn't know any spanish when I showed up! Ya, I got stories!
