Randall and the crew were awesome! They took us to a private beach where we ate, played with the jet skis, and snorkeled. They also took us to watch the sunset before taking us back to the dock! Highly recommended!!
We used Sealounge Catamaran for a boat party and they were great! The crew was awesome and very helpful, we explored a private beach where they cooked for us and rode jetskis. Plenty of tour for a large crowd and a nice roof that you can jump from. Definitely would recommend to others!
Great experience and service!I'll make this quick.What was provided for us: yacht, diving, snorkel, jetski, catered food, drinks, snacks, private beach.The staff were very friendly and service was great.
This beach is completely secluded and accessible only by boat, it nearly takes your breath away as you realize this is where you will be spending your day! Randall and his team are professional and extremely detail oriented. The beach is wonderful, white sand and the jungle flows right into the sand.

Herradura Costa Rica Weather
From December until mid-April there is hardly any rain in Herradura. The weather tends to be very hot and humid.
Just keep in mind that this is also prime tourism time and the nearby town of Jaco tends to be one of the most crowded beach towns in the country. This means that by default, Herradura gets filled up as well.
From mid-April until the end of July you can expect sunny and hot days with a daily afternoon thunderstorm. The rain usually rolls in around 2 pm and typically does not last for more than a few hours. Even after the rain ends for the day it tends to stay warm.
From August until December the weather is a complete surprise. Sometimes there will be nice sunny days and other times there can be nonstop rain.
Keep in mind that this is also the least popular time to travel so there are fewer tourists and everything is a bit cheaper.

Herradura Restaurants
Amphitheater Restaurant – This is the kind of place that you need to see to believe. Here you can enjoy a delicious luxury meal with a view of the amphitheater and ocean beyond. We highly suggest getting an early dinner (around 5:15 pm) to fully embrace the sunset views.
LANTERNA Italian Steakhouse – Located at Los Suenos resort, this restaurant offers great views of the busy Herradura harbor. I always opt for one of their traditional Italian dishes and Thomas is all about the fresh seafood.
El Pelicano – This place has a little of everything and all of it is delicious. We like this spot because you can get a table directly on the beach and it has a pleasant relaxed atmosphere.
La Puesta del Sol – Good place right on the beach that serves things such as pasta, burgers, and traditional Costa Rican fare.
![tours herradura costa rica herradura view](https://www.costaricavibes.com/wp-content/uploads/5-111-683x1024.jpg)
Herradura Costa Rica Hotels
Los Suenos Resort – This is a Marriot resort located directly on the beach. This is one of the few places in Costa Rica that has a golf course , so golf lovers, this is your place to be.
The property has a kids club, multiple restaurants, several interconnecting pools, and a fitness center.
Hotel Villa Caletas – The style of this place is not at all what you would expect to find in Costa Rica, and we kind of love it. Here you can expect ornate marble everywhere.
![tours herradura costa rica herradura costa rica beach](https://www.costaricavibes.com/wp-content/uploads/8-80-683x1024.jpg)
Vacation Rentals in Herradura
We always love renting a home or villa for our vacation in Costa Rica. This gives you more privacy and allows you the flexibility to cook your own meals.

Herradura Travel Tips
Herradura is the place to go for a resort getaway close to action. It’s a really nice spot.

Playa Herradura
A coastal town just 4km north of Jaco , Playa Herradura is one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant destinations. The town itself is a wealthy neighborhood overflowing with grandeur featuring luxury resorts, championship golf courses, and a wealth of gourmet dining experiences. This opulent area is a great place to pick up unique Costa Rican artwork, with Dantica Gallery one of the country’s best places to view and purchase art. With a magnificent mountain backdrop and spectacular ocean views, Herradura is worth a visit for the scenery alone. A horseshoe bay with the waters of the Pacific lapping against the shore makes up the coastline of Playa Herradura. Lined with palm trees, this beach is a tropical paradise with glistening turquoise waters and soft black sands. Attracting fewer tourists than neighboring Jaco, Playa Herradura is a more relaxing and peaceful destination for a day in the sun. At the tip of the beachfront, Los Sueños Marina is a port for the affluent. Yachts and luxury fishing boats gently bob on the water with a breathtaking million-dollar landscape viewed from the beach. From here, visitors to the area can enjoy an indulgent private cruise on the open water or for the more active traveler, and deep sea fishing is a popular activity.

23 May 2023
HRG is home to the beautiful Playa Herradura, or in English, Horseshoe Beach (but nobody calls it that!). Playa Herradura gets its name from the way the beach is perfectly encompassed in a bay, shaped just like a horseshoe.
So, what is there to discover in this desirable beach town? A scenic beach? A luxury resort? World class Sportfishing? Today we will review why Playa Herradura is Costa Rica at its very best.
A Geographical Gem

Playa Herradura is one of the most sought after destinations in the region of Puntarenas, thanks to its idyllic tropical beach with calm blue waters, and its proximity to the international airport in San Jose.
On the south side of the bay you’ll see Isla Herradura, an uninhabited island sitting at the edge of the bay, helping frame those perfect pacific coast sunsets. On the north side of the bay is where you’ll find Los Sueños Resort and Marina , lined with immaculate fishing boats and yachts. And right in the middle is Herradura Beach.
A Perfect Costa Rican Beach
The bay protects the beach from major swells, making this beach perfect for swimming and popular amongst families. The beach is lined with tiki bar style restaurants and on the weekends you’ll find plenty of Tico families enjoying the shade under the almond trees.
Our favorite spot for a ceviche at sunset? Coco’s Beachfront Restaurant.
You can also find stand up paddleboard and kayak rentals here. Playa Herradura is a lovely little beach, dear to many Costa Ricans. But what else does Herradura have? Is it just a beach?
The Crown Jewel of Herradura: Los Sueños
If you drive away from the beach you’ll pass the enchanting entrance to Los Sueños. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the guard gates to enter the resort. You’ll drive down a palm tree lined road, passing a scenic creek, a few holes of the luscious La Iguana championship golf course , and before you reach Marina Village you’ll have an enchanting ocean view of Herradura Bay. You’ll also go by a number of condominiums and villas, many of which are managed by HRG Properties & Rentals.
Marina Village is a great place to reconvene: there is a cafe with delicious coffee drinks and a full menu, along with several restaurant options. All of these restaurants overlook the boats which sit in the world famous Los Sueños Marina. Los Sueños also has its own small beach on the north side of the bay. It’s the perfect place to watch the sunset and dig your toes into the soft sand.
Most of our guests choose to get around in a golf cart once they’re here, and hire our drivers to take them on their excursions outside of the resort. Los Sueños Resort is the crème de la crème of lodging and vacation experience in the region, and we’re so lucky to have it in Playa Herradura!
Discover the Central Pacific Coast
Surf and fun in jacó.
Most people don’t visit Herradura without at least checking out the neighboring town of Jacó (ha•KO). Jacó is a hotspot for travelers of all ages. It has great surfing, plenty of restaurants, and a busy nightlife.
At HRG, we love to bring our clients surfing at Jacó beach, and we’re always happy to recommend our favorite restaurants.
Vacation Vistas
Just a few minutes north of Herradura is a tourist destination known as Punta Leona. It’s popular amongst Costa Ricans who travel from San Jose to enjoy Playa Blanca, a white sand beach with calm waters. Many of our guests like to check out Playa Blanca and then enjoy the sunset at Villa Caletas, where you’ll find the best ocean views in all of Costa Rica from their stunning amphitheater.
Further south past Jacó you’ll find Playa Hermosa, a black sand beach with world fame in the surfing community. Beware, these waves are for advanced surfers only. But tourists and locals alike love to grab lunch at Vida Hermosa on the beach and watch the pros do their thing!
Wildlife at Manuel Antonio

Travel even further south and you’ll find Manuel Antonio National Park , which makes a great day trip from Herradura. Rainforest, white sand beach, monkeys, and sloths are just part of what make Manuel Antonio the best park in Costa Rica, and we have it only one hour from Herradura.
The Local Side of Herradura

Leaving Los Sueños and heading towards the main road, you’ll pass a residential area, with a few small markets and local eateries. As you approach the main road, you’ll see the big Herradura Plaza on the right.
Here you can find the best grocery store for 50 miles, Automercado. Travelers love this store because they can find American comforts, international specialties, and Costa Rican classics.
Driving across the main road into the other side of town, you’ll find our adventure park where many great tours begin. As you go through this local part of Herradura, you’ll see how many local Costa Ricans live. Keep your eyes peeled, you might see a good soccer game going on! Herradura has a great community, with many people employed by the tourism and fishing industries.
Adventure Awaits
Herradura is not only beautiful for its beach, but for the mountains that crawl up to the shore. This makes it a great spot for adventure tourism. Travelers from all over the Puntarenas province come here to enjoy ziplining, ATV and side-by-side tours, as well as horseback riding at Vista Los Sueños adventure park.
In addition to ATV, waterfalls, and horseback riding, Herradura’s proximity to other activities makes it a prime destination on the central pacific coast. On the way to your lodging from the airport, you will pass the world famous Tarcoles River, home to many American Crocodiles who bathe in the sun while tourists look out over the bridge.
Within 15 minutes of Los Sueños you can also find Carara National Park, a Mecca for birders or travelers who wish to see scarlet macaws, toucans, and many other colorful birds of paradise.
Herradura: Gateway to the Vast Pacific
Tourists from all over come to Herradura Bay to embark on their boat trips. The calm waters of this protected bay make it the perfect launching boat for boats big and small. People come to fish the coastline in smaller boats, or they join the big leagues of the Los Sueños Marina fleet for a day of deep sea fishing .
For non-anglers, we always suggest a day cruising to the white sand beach on Isla Tortuga, where you can snorkel, kayak, and explore the turquoise waters of the gulf of Nicoya.
Come Explore Herradura
Playa Herradura is a mix of many things. Local culture meets luxury lifestyle. Beautiful bay meets mountain jungle. Relaxing vacation meets adventure tourism. Herradura has it all, and we at HRG would be more than happy to host you here in one of our luxury vacation rentals. We can’t wait to see you!
