Playas del Coco from the air

This is a view of Playas del Coco from the airliner on our approach to the international airport in Liberia. I have mentioned before that I always get a window seat on the left side of the plane to provide the best view of Costa Rica's Pacific Coast when flying into Liberia.

Playas del Coco is about 45 minutes north from Tamarindo. The coast in this area is different than Tamarindo. There are more bays, coves, and islands in this area, but the beaches are much shorter and do not have the surf or waves of Tamarindo and Langosta. This area is scenic, with beautiful ocean views, but long walks along the beach are not possible, which we enjoy doing in Tamarindo and Langosta.

I will show some additional photos of Playas del Coco and nearby areas in the coming weeks.

We are showing photos of the red rock scenery of Sedona, Arizona, this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
