Playa Carrillo
From Wikitravel
Playa Carrillo is a postcard-perfect beach in Costa Rica's Guanacaste province, located next to the small fishing village of Puerto Carrillo.

The beach is accessible via paved road from its larger sister to the north, Playa Sámara. It is a short drive of approximately 6 km.

The typical amenities found on most Costa Rican beaches are harder to find here; the beach is relatively quiet and deserted. For the usual offering of rental and tour services, your best bet is to head to neighboring Sámara.

There are a few accommodations located in the town of Puerto Carrillo, on the hill that slopes eastward from the beach.
- The Hotel Esperanza, on the main drag, is clean and comfortable, with a pool and a pleasant restaurant. As of March 2009, a double room with air conditioning could be had for US$80.

[edit] Get out
The coastal route south of Puerto Carrillo turns into a dirt- and dust-riddled affair. Though it is technically possible to explore the southwestern reaches of the Nicoya peninsula this way, it should not be done without a 4x4 and should be avoided outright during the rainy season.
