Playa Hermosa Real Estate | Properties for Sale in Playa Hermosa Costa Rica

Playa Hermosa which means ”Beautiful” in Spanish is an aptly named gray-sand beach and is perched between two mountains. Lots of people have discovered its tree lined tranquil sands and safe swimming waters and continue to do so. Playa Hermosa is a laid back, quiet and an unhurried town consisting of mostly upscale exquisite single family homes and a few low density condo developments.

Guanacaste’s Playa Hermosa is situated between Playa del Coco and Playa Panama, Hermosa is seldom as crowded as its neighbors. It is a fabulous getaway for those seeking quality relaxation. While Hermosa Beach maintains an overall laidback atmosphere, it has experienced a surge in development. The town runs from north to south along its beachfront, becoming more sparsely populated toward the south. Large hotel complexes on the northern end head most construction in the area, while the south retains a more relaxed atmosphere.

Services in town are abundant, offering good shopping, food, bars, and tourist activities. The coast of Hermosa Beach is renowned for its outstanding marine fauna, and visitors can enjoy this ocean life through activities such as snorkeling, sport fishing, and scuba diving. Horseback riding along the beach is another great way for people to take in the beautiful surroundings. Hermosa Beach is a short 20-minute drive, along a paved road, from Liberia’s Daniel Oduber International Airport. A car trip or bus ride from San Jose takes approximately four hours along the Inter-American Highway. Playa Hermosa is centrally located and many of the attractions of the northern Guanacaste area are within an hours’ drive.
