Puerto Soley Beach Costa Rica is a beautiful white sanded beach with deep blue cold waters, over 3 km long, located in the province of Guanacaste, near the Nicaraguan border.

Puerto Soley is a small fishing community, as it is one of the most remote natural paradises of Costa Rica, which is reflected in a calm and relaxed environment, perfect to get away and relax. It is surrounded by mangrove swamps and two estuaries at the ends with rich vegetation and fishing, along with Bolaños Island, completes the beauty of its landscape.

Puerto Soley Beach is also known as a place where you can enjoy many activities such as swimming, fishing, do a little snorkeling, jet ski, or take boat tours to Bolaños Island, a lush bird sanctuary. Also and thanks to its location in Salinas Bay, Puerto Soley has strong waves caused by the strong winds, being the months from November to May the most windiest, so windsurfing and kitesurfing are among the most revered activities of the beach.
