If you desire off the beaten path beaches, look no further than Playa Danta! A 30-minute drive from Playa Grande, and just north of Playa Flamingo, Danta is a remote paradise. Nestled in a bay, and popular for its calm seas, Playa Danta is ideal for paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Perfect for family and/or couples of all ages, make your way off the shore of Playa Danta coast and see Costa Rican marine wildlife up close and personal.

Protected from wind and waves, the Playa Danta bay is teaming with marine animal life and creates idyllic conditions to peer through clear waters from your paddleboard or kayak. Be sure to bring a camera, as the sights will be plentiful! Nearby you can also enjoy flat to low slope, and more than 10 kilometers of mountain biking terrain to for days of fun in the sun.

The Las Catalinas development at Playa Danta has the beach bar and restaurant Limonada serving up smoothies, cold beverages, and good food. Pura Vida Ride is just next store, and they provide paddleboards, mountain bikes, kayaks, and more to visitors. Las Catalinas has its own guarded parking lot.

Local Tip: Bring your all terrain flip-flops, because just a short hike north of Danta are the white sands of Playa Dantita. Small and private, this beach is a gem and a half. Plus during the hike you are sure to see some wonderful wildlife moments.
