Our Local Experts say:

Considering Costa Rica lies both on the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Gulf, you can imagine the endless choices for beachfront restaurants. Lobster in Playa Flamingo or fresh fish in Puntarenas are just a few choices to consider for your meal.

Your choices range from fine dining in a luxurious setting backdropped by a beautiful sunset in Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Cahuita, El Coco, or more - to the smaller locally owned restaurants that can be found on beaches in even the smallest towns. Use our tab to find the location, atmosphere and style you are looking for.
