It's also a great starting point for exploring the surrounding area, including the Cahuita National Park and the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge.

If you're looking for some adventure, Playa Cocles has plenty to offer. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, or take a boat tour to explore the nearby coral reefs. You can also go on a zip line tour through the rainforest or go on a hiking tour to see some of the local wildlife.

There is a beautiful hiking trail that goes along the shore, starting at the beach of Puerto Viejo. And who knows, you might even see a sloth or two along the way. If you decide to hike along the main road between Puerto Viejo and Playa Cocles, you will find several small almost hidden trails on the left side of the road into the jungle. Taking these trails will lead to small secluded beaches you can enjoy your day in private.
