Punta Uva - the best beach in Costa Rica. The most beautiful part of the beach is sometimes called
Playa Arrecife, and is located just behind the cape to the north-east of the official Punta Uva beach. Ironically, this "secret" part of the coast is not marked as a beach on many maps, so it is easy to miss it. Look for
Arrecife Restaurante to avoid confusion. By car you should drive on the highway # 256 from
Puerto Viejo town to the bus stop located just before
Korrigan Lodge hotel. At the bus stop, turn left onto a secondary road. Shore and seabed: sand.

Hotels [edit]
There are several hotels near the beach, most of which are located on the main road # 256. If you have a car or if you are ready to take the bus, you can choose any hotel on the coast up to
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca town.
