Getting to Los Cedros Beach Costa Rica
From San José go to Puntarenas and then take the Paquera Ferry (Phone: +506 2661-2084, click here). We recommend you get to Puntarenas an hour before the ferry leaves. Once the ferry arrives, drive along the road to Montezuma and Malpais for about 38 km (24 miles), and take the exit to Montezuma. Once in Montezuma, follow the road for about 3 km (2 miles) until you reach Cedros Beach. This route requires a total of 3.5 hour from San Jose.
From Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR), drive south through Nosara, Samara and Coyote, cross the Bongo river and continue through Manzanillo to Cabo Blanco. Between Ario and Manzanillo you can continue through a stretch of beach. Make sure the tide is low and only use a 4×4 vehicle for this route. It is a very scenic trip as you go down the coast (this route exemplifies rural Costa Rica and is very beautiful). Or you can reach the junction that leads to Ario Beach and go through the mountains, this way takes longer, but it’s the official road and its use is not dependent on the tides. Once in Cabo Blanco, drive along the road to Montezuma for about 10 km (6 miles) until you reach Cedros Beach. This route requires a total of 5 hours.
