Holiday In Beach

For endless secluded beaches of dark volcanic sand, stretching away against a backdrop of swaying palm trees and lush tropical jungle, the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is hard to beat. There are abundant surfing and fishing possibilities. The sunsets here are among the most beautiful anywhere.

This cosy stretch of pale Corsican sand enjoys a pine forest windbreak as a backdrop – part of the Cerbicales National Park – and a crystalline bay of very swimmable water embraced by natural-harbour-like arms of rosy-coloured rock. There’s a snug terrace cafe for cold drinks and snacks, and Porto-Vecchio is a fifteen-minute drive away for lunch.
