About Ocotal

Playa Ocotal is a small, sheltered dark-sand cove five minutes south of Playas del Coco, with clear water for snorkelling straight off the beach, a cluster of hillside villas and condos and views to the Papagayo headlands. It is quiet and residential; Coco supplies the restaurants and services.

The ride from Liberia Airport (LIR)

From Liberia Airport allow 35 minutes via Route 1, the Sardinal turn-off and Playas del Coco, then the short climb over the ridge to Ocotal, all paved. Villas here are up steep streets; give the driver the property name.

Good to know before you arrive

  • Snorkel the rocks at the north end of the beach in the morning for the clearest water.
  • Father Rooster on the sand is the classic beach bar for sunset.
  • Groceries and ATMs are in Coco, five minutes away.
  • Dive operators in Coco pick up in Ocotal on request.
