Hotel Cariblue is one of the nicest beach hotels in Costa Rica. Right in front of the entrance to Hotel Cariblue is the beautiful white sand beach of Cocles Beach (actually, this beach is referred to locally as "Beach Break"). This is generally agreed to be the best surfing beach in the area. It has a good wave and no reef (unlike the famous Salsa Brava beach in Puerto Viejo, which has very dangerous reefs). Many of the local surfers as well as travellers from all over the world come to Costa Rica to surf. This beach is also an excellent place for the casual beachgoer, since it has graceful palms to provide shade and perfect sand for sunbathing. So at Cariblue, you have one of the nicest beaches in the area right outside your front door.

Between Hotel Cariblue and Puerto Viejo, there is a beautiful grove of trees with an open, park-like atmosphere. The beach in this region has wonderful coral reefs. This is an excellent spot for nature hikes and sightseeing.

In the town of Puerto Viejo itself, there is of course the famous Salsa Brava beach, which has some of the best surfing in Costa Rica (only for expert surfers, though!). Puerto Viejo also has an excellent sheltered harbor, many beach front restaurants, hotels, shops, and a pleasant, rustic atmosphere.

In the opposite direction from Puerto Viejo, there is a long beautiful stretch of pristine beach which extends past Playa Chiquita to Punta Uva, Manzanillo and beyond to Monkey Point (Punta Mona) and Gandoca.

Much of this region is under protection by the government of Costa Rica as a wildlife reserve, and is a wonderful place for nature hiking. The beach in this region has tranquil tide pools which are perfect for swimming, beautiful coral reefs, and lush jungle coming right down to the sand.
