A vacation at Casa Azul Rio means staying in style a short drive from several beaches of white and golden sand, many of which are relatively unvisited!

Playa Tortuga is a top destination for those who want to get off the beaten path and experience daily life in Costa Rica and it’s just seven minutes down the road from Casa Azul Rio. It’s an especially awesome location for travelers who love to enjoy beautiful scenery and wildlife. It is called ‘Tortuga’ because of its turtle population and has a Turtle Rescue Center where you can volunteer to monitor either turtles or monkeys along the beach.

Looking to explore sea caves? Head to Playa Ventantas. It is a fantastic beach with plenty of caverns, coastal reefs for snorkeling, and surfing opportunities and it’s just eleven minutes up the road.

There is one thing Playa Dominical is renowned for beyond whatever else beaches are good for and that is, surfing! In fact, it’s a world-renowned surfing hotspot! And it’s only a half-hour away! With waves known to swell up to 10-feet tall, many kayaking and surfing companies have set up shop there, and it's common for surfers from around the globe to camp out on this beach to be right next to this choice surf.

Marino Ballena National Beach has wonderful spots for snorkeling and beach-combing during low tide.

There are also several waterfalls to explore! Cataracts Uvita is fifteen minutes away and gorgeous Cascada el Pavon 16 minutes away! The famous Nauyaca Waterfalls a 44-minute drive from the property!

Bara Reserve holds waterfall tours and nature walks and is 35-minutes away.

Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands and Corcovado National Park is a park teeming with wild animals such as iguanas, turtles, scarlet macaws, sloths, squirrel monkeys, tapirs, caimans, coatimundi, crocodiles and jaguars.
