Secret Romantic Places in Costa Rica
August 26th, 2009 | by admin |
There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive beachfront hotels to find a gorgeous sunset view in order to impress that special someone. Here in Costa Rica there are many beautiful, secret and secluded places to have a romantic dinner, candlelight picnic, or simply watch the sunset fade into the horizon. Here are three breath-taking, secluded secret spots in Costa Rica that will definitely turn your Costa Rican Adventure into the romantic experience of a lifetime.
#3) Lookout point on the road to Irazu: When travelling up the mountain to visit Volcan Irazu in Cartago, Costa Rica, there is a lookout point about ¾ of the way there. On a clear, warm night you can see the lights from the city when you look down and the sparkling constellations when you look up. Bring a blanket and some snacks, maybe a portable radio with some slow, romantic Spanish music and enjoy the sights together!
#2) Playa Cocles: If you are looking for a beautiful yet nearly deserted beach, Playa Cocles is where you want to be. Everyone visits the neighbouring beaches Playa Cahuita or Puerto Viejo, leaving this beautiful beach to be forgotten. Watch the sunrise on this beautiful Caribbean beach, have lunch in the white sand, or have some alone time in the evening in a secluded area of this low traffic Playa.
#1) Sunset view of the Pacific Ocean: On the main road to Manuel Antonio, just before turning left up to the road of hotels and cabinas, you will notice that you can go straight instead of turning left; however the path looks like an industrial only zone. It is not. Follow that road about a kilometre or so to the end, and you will find an empty lot where a hotel used to be. The old hotel is completely gone, and all that is left is the old floor. This space sits directly on the coast, with beautiful water and fish on three sides, along with large beautiful rocks and amazing greenery in the distance. Surprise your significant other with a romantic dinner on the shore as you watch the sunset together and take some breath taking photographs.
