Add It To Your Itenerary

Playa Danta is one of Costa Rica’s top beaches. Being so close to the Liberia International Airport is a huge plus. With Las Catalinas to explore, this is a great place to spend a couple days on your vacation.

Pick up a pair of these awesome water shoes. I've been using them all over Costa Rica during my travels. They have vented soles so water drains right out the bottom! Great for going to the beach and walking through town, or exploring rivers.
