One of the most beautiful beaches along our coastline and it's just 5 minute drive from our property. Best to visit on low tide. Nice shade from the trees and a key hole in the reef allows for getting in for a dip. Great spot to go snorkeling off the rocks too!

If paying in cash use Colones.
If you're going to pay in cash anywhere use local currency Colones, or most business will give a poor exchange rate if you pay in dollars.

Gas Stations
We have only two gas stations nearby and they are located in the town on Cobano. They are open 24/7, however they are approx. a 30 minute drive from Mal Pais. So don't let that gas tank get too low.
