San Miguel Beach Costa Rica: grayish sand beach with typical littoral vegetation, which is divided from Coyote beach by the mouth and estuary of the Jabilla river.

San Miguel beach has different currents and natural pools, meaning that it is safe for swimmers of all ages. Those who make the trek to this wondrous place usually get to enjoy the beach area in relative solitude, as many travelers have remarked about just how deserted the area is and how it seems as though they’re on their own private beach.
