Playa Junquillal Information

Playa Junquillal is located in the Guanacaste region (just 30 minutes south of Tamarindo) of Costa Rica, on the pacific Gold Coast, and in one of only 5 Blue Zones in the world. This dazzling shoreline is incredibly peaceful and perfect for surfing, strolling, horseback riding, or just relaxing. Sunbathers and surfers alike visit Playa Junquillal, but it is best known for the important work of hel

ping to rescue nesting sites for Olive Ridley/Leatherback/Black sea turtles, and a baby turtle hatchery. It is also home to a United States NGO, Restoring Our Watershed, that focuses and is committed to helping to restore and protect the area land, water, flora and fauna of the Nandamojo watershed for future generations. Here you will also find restaurants, local markets, vacation rental and hotels. Playa Junquillal and its surrounding beaches offer visitors a much more low-key vibe than many other busy tourist beach towns.
