Costa Rica's beaches are famous for their beauty. From the sun-drenched Pacific shores of Guanacaste and Nicoya down to the pounding surf and wild, jungle-backed beaches of the southern zone and across to palm-fringed Caribbean coasts, this small Central American country has an impressive array of oceanfront locales that attract tourists from around the world. Surfers, beachcombers, sunbathers, resort-seekers, and snorkelers can all find something perfect on any of Costa Rica’s 300 beaches. However, one question frequently arises among visitors: "Are there any private beaches in Costa Rica?"
Well, the answer is technically no. Surfers, beachcombers, sunbathers, resort-seekers, and snorkelers can find a beach that will suit them, but they won’t find a private beach. Not in the real sense of the word.
