About Playa Junquillal

Playa Junquillal offers a 2.5-mile (4 km) stretch of sandy beach with warm, clear blue waters, making it an ideal destination for surfing, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. The nearby turtle restoration project is a conservation program aimed at preserving the leatherback or baula turtles. It involves a group of local boys known as the “Baula Boys,” who work in the turtle hatchery and take care of the turtle nests.

In addition to the endangered leatherback sea turtles, the area is also home to a well-established international community that is friendly and welcoming to visitors. Playa Junquillal is conveniently located just a 40-minute drive from Tamarindo and Santa Cruz, where major banks, supermarkets, shops, international restaurants, and schools can be found. The international Guanacaste Airport (LIR) in Liberia is also within 1.5 hours’ reach.

North of Junquillal lies the delightful white-sand beach of Playa Blanca, nestled in a protected cove, perfect for snorkeling or relaxing under the shade of mangrove trees. Further along the beach, you’ll find Playa Callejones, a beautiful spot with tide pools and two beachside restaurants specializing in seafood. Additionally, the bay here forms a natural port where you can embark on fishing tours with experienced local fishermen, like Ovidio. Heading further north, you’ll reach the world-class surf spot of Playa Negra.

Playa Junquillal has earned the Ecological Blue Flag award year after year, which is granted by the Costa Rican government to environmentally friendly beaches and towns. The beach meets various criteria, including water and beach quality, access to drinking water, water and garbage treatment, environmental education, signage, and safety. As a result, many investors are choosing this area to build luxury homes, and sophisticated buyers and families are recognizing it as one of the last hidden gems in the region.
