Santa Teresa Costa Rica Area Map

Santa Teresa is a street village with hotels and services lined up along 4 kms of bumpy dirt road, from the intersection of "El Cruze" on Playa Carmen to "La Lora" on Playa Santa Teresa. Without a vehicle you will often find yourself trekking along the dusty street from your hotel to a shop or venue.

Santa Teresa Playa Hermosa

On the way to Playa Hermosa: El Peñon

Once you pass the nightclub "La Lora" on Playa Santa Teresa, you’ll find the less busy part of beach with fewer crowds, scenic vistas and more luxurious hotels and small resorts.

2 kms past "La Lora" you’ll see the "Peñon", a sugar-loaf shaped rock in the sea. At low tide, take a walk on the beach for the best views. Some 200 m after the Peñon, there is a great spot for snorkeling and swimming (at low tide only) in a tide pool enclosed by a reef which forms a natural swimming pool.

Playa Hermosa

Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa

Another 2 kms further, you arrive at a junction where the road to your right goes uphill to Manzanillo and further on to Samara and Nosara, while a turn to the left brings you to Playa Hermosa.

Playa Hermosa (Beautiful Beach) lives up to its name: it's the picture perfect tropical beach, wide and sandy with swaying palm trees and almendros. Swimming is safe as there are no underwater rocks. Be cautious however of the rip tides on the northern part of the beach.
