35 minutes from Atenas, crystal clear water and white sand. From Jaco or Playa Herradura, head north along the Costanera highway. Just before the Punta Leona Hotel, you’ll take a left onto an unmarked dirt road right before a small restaurant called Soda Nimar. Drive about 10 minutes along this road, passing by fields and then through parts of the resort. Along the way, security guards will take down your license plate number. If they ask, just tell them you are going to Playa Mantas (the beach right next to Playa Blanca). Near the end of the road, you’ll reach a small parking area. A guard will tell you where to park and will watch your car for the day.
