On the Horizon:
A New Marina for El Coco

Plans for a 300-boat marina for El Coco have been officially approved by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute. Once completed, the new marina will be a hub of activity for the Playa del Coco. It will be constructed at Punta Centinela, offering waterway access for tourists, as well as employment opportunities for locals.

The beaches of the Northern Pacific region of Guanacaste draw tourists year round and are regulated to ensure the environment is always preserved, even as the area’s popularity grows.

This marina is just one of countless new conveniences coming to the area. Playa del Coco and the surrounding community is beautifully balancing its appeal to travelers worldwide with its native culture and local color.
