Matapalo. Along the sparsely populated middle Pacific coast( map ) region
of Costa Rica, twenty miles south of Manuel Antonio, lies the
unique little beach community of Playa Matapalo. Unlike its more
popular neighbors, Dominical and Quepos/Manuel Antonio, it doesn't
have world-class surf or a famous park to draw international
tourists. Instead, it has a slow, stroll about pace and a beautiful,
long sandy beach, perfect for swimming and watching sunsets.
Because the beach community is not directly on the main Pacific
Coast road and is over a mile away from the town of the same
name, Matapalo is usually bypassed in favor of more established
destinations. This has caused the people of the pueblo to remain
more bucolic and the area to retain a more natural charm. Many
of the residents don't want to be 'found' by the outside world,
they like the place just the way it is, peaceful and relaxing. Hostels in Matapalo |
