PLAYITA

THE GAY BEACH IN MANUEL ANTONIO BEACH

 

Playita is a cozy, secluded gay beach with fantastic ocean views. Clothing-optional, it is a wonderful opportunity to be completely one with nature. Surrounded by jungle, there is even a little path to small waterfall for playing and rollicking!

The waters are warm and jellyfish free and the beach filled with friendly ‘ticos’ (Costaricans) and tourists with no pressure to hook up.

The beach is accessed by walking to the north end of Playa Espadilla, wading across a stream, walking across a cove, and climbing over the volcanic rocks at the end of the beach. It is recommended that you wear shoes or thick sandals so as not to injure your feet.

When you go to Playita, be sure to time your arrival and departure to avoid being stuck there during high tide. For 1 1/2 hours before and after high tide, you will not be able to access or leave the beach.

There are no services provided at this beach, so be sure to bring everything you need with you. As with all the Pacific beaches, there are strong currents and undertows, so be very careful and avoid swimming alone.
