Rajada beach is a beautiful, lonely and small beach, no more than 1km long, with white sands, little slopes and crystal blue waters with gentle waves, surrounded by trees typical of the tropical dry forest lush vegetation, located in Salinas Bay in the Guanacaste province.
Rajada, is a pristine beach, unknown to the majority of Costa Ricans, of great natural wealth, complemented by its beautiful mangrove, estuary, and a large number of flora and fauna, both terrestrial and marine, making it one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica.
Rajada beach is ideal for sunbathing, enjoying the calm waters, practicing a bit of diving, snorkeling, fishing, or simply to rest and relax under the shade of leafy trees listening to the sound of the sea. When taking a bath in its waters, visitors can observe a variety of fish swimming around, even playing between your legs, due to the abundant marine life.
In front of Rajada beach is an island, whose shape suggests a series of silhouettes, which spark the imagination of those that observe in detail.
