Playa Pelada
Playa Pelada Review
North along the shore, Playa Guiones segues seamlessly into crescent-shape Playa Pelada, where the water is a little calmer. There are tide pools to explore and a blowhole that sends water shooting up when the surf is big. Lots of trees provide shade. This is the locals' favorite vantage point for watching sunsets—great photo ops, with beached fishing boats adding color and interest to the foreground. Olga's Bar, a ramshackle Tico beach bar, is an atmospheric place for a cool beer.
