Playa de Isla Tortuga beach
Ultimate guide (October 2024)
Playa de Isla Tortuga - the best and the only beach of
Tortuga island in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. This is a purely tourist attraction. Every morning boats come with crowds and every evening go away back. Anyway, it is worth to visit once, as the local landscapes are beautiful. Shore and seabed: sand.
