Playa Ocotal is a small, attractive beach located only 40 kms from the Liberia International Airport in Guanacaste, on the northern Pacific coast. A third of a mile long, it is the cleanest and quietest beach in the area; home to a vast stretch of tropical dry forest that harbors abundant wildlife including many species of exotic birds.
A fantastic place to enjoy the warm inviting waters of the blue sea. Go swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving with giant manta rays, schools of tropical fish, large sea turtles, sharks, and octopus.

Fun fact:
You can rent snorkel equipment, kayaks, and canoes at Ocotal by the entrance of the beach near Father Rooster.There’s also a rope swing on the right side that is a fun little extra. It’s in the trees so unfortunately you can’t jump into the ocean which would be soo cool but it’s still a really fun attraction for the kids
