Playa Negra

Playa Negra is a unique black beach in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica. It is famous for its distinctive dark sand rich in volcanic minerals and iron, which gives it a unique appearance.

It's a surfer's paradise, offering some of the best waves in Costa Rica - the right-hand barrels that were immortalized in the iconic film 'Endless Summer II'. The beach also impresses with its natural tide pools and rocky formations.

In addition to surfing, visitors can go horseback riding along the beach, birdwatching or simply relaxing on the black sand. The area offers a variety of accommodations - from cozy guesthouses to luxury resorts.
