Peaceful Coves & Surf Beaches in Montezuma

Montezuma is located at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula and has been able to preserve its original charm to this day. If you drive from Samara to Montezuma during your Costa Rica holiday, we recommend that you do not drive along the Pacific coast, but through the interior to Montezuma. The last part of the drive is a bit bumpy, but the sight of the green forests, the beaches and the blue sea will quickly make you forget the journey.

You will stay in a comfortable hotel just outside the city centre with a large garden and a direct view of the sea. All rooms have air conditioning and a private bathroom. The hotel features a restaurant (you can have breakfast here, for an extra charge), but in the town you’ll discover numerous places to eat, serving particularly good fresh fish and Mediterranean style cuisine.

In the morning you will be woken up by monkeys playing in the mango trees. Today you can decide for yourself if you prefer to spend the day at the nearby beach or if you want to explore the surrounding area.

If you decide to visit Cabo Blanco National Park, it’s best to pack a backpack with enough water and snacks, put on sturdy walking shoes and don’t forget your swimsuit. After about 30 minutes drive you will reach the entrance of the park. From there, the trail leads up and down hill for about five kilometres through the tropical forest. Your efforts will be duly rewarded, as a bright beach and clear water await – perfect for a refreshing dip! After a leisurely picnic and multiple dips in the sea, you can return back to your hotel.
