Playa Bonita

Playa Bonita, just west of Puerto Limón, is a small, dark-sand beach framed by rocky outcrops and lush coastal vegetation. Popular with locals, it offers gentle waves for swimming on calmer days and reliable surf for beginners to intermediates. Simple beachfront sodas serve Caribbean dishes, and basic facilities are available. The setting is more casual than postcard-perfect, with a relaxed, lived-in vibe and easy access from Limón by taxi or bus. It suits travelers seeking a convenient beach break, local flavor, and surf practice rather than seclusion or upscale amenities. Rip currents can occur; check conditions before entering.
