Bonita Beach, which means Beautiful in Spanish, is a small but beautiful and quiet beach of white sand and crystal blue water surrounded by rock formations and an exotic landscape of dry tropical forest, located in the province of Guanacaste.
Although Bonita Beach is within walking distance of crowded beaches such as Panama and El Coco, it’s rarely visited, making it the perfect destination if you are looking for a little peace and quiet, as Bonita Beach is ideal for cooling off in its calm waters or sunbathe and relax listening to the sound of the sea.
