Fishing from Playas del Coco is a favorite beach spot in Costa Rica, found in the Guanacaste province on the beautiful Pacific coast. Locals call it “El Coco.” Once a quiet fishing village, it’s now a lively place for both tourists and expats, while still retaining its original charm.
The town is known for its wide, crescent-shaped bay with soft, dark sand and gentle, warm water, ideal for swimming, Catamaran excursions, land tours, beach BBQ, and snorkeling. Along the beach, you’ll find palm trees, small restaurants, lively bars, and shops, making it a fun and easy place to visit.
Fishing from Playas del Coco
Playas del Coco is a popular spot for sport fishing in Costa Rica. The calm, nutrient-rich waters close to shore attract many kinds of fish all year, so it’s great for both inshore and deep-sea fishing. You might catch roosterfish, snapper, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, or even marlin and sailfish. We offer half-day or full-day trips, experienced guides, and provide all the equipment. Catalina and Bat Islands, which are nearby, are also favorite fishing areas. On some tours, you can also see manta rays, turtles, whales, and dolphins while you fish.
There’s more to do than enjoy the beach. You can go hiking, try zip-lining, or visit nearby national parks, such as Rincon de la Vieja. The town is known for its lively nightlife and welcoming community, making it popular with both visitors and locals. Plus, it’s only 25 minutes from Guanacaste International Airport, so getting here is easy.
