Playa Potrero | Penca Beach

Potrero Bay is immediately north of Flamingo. Playa Potrero and Surfside are the first grey fine sand beaches on the bay. The calm waters are perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing. Playa Potrero, Costa Rica is a small fishing village located in the center of the beach. It is also becoming the community that lies at the gateway of new resort territories to the north.

After Potrero follow the existing beaches Penca, Prieta, and Pan de Azucar (Sugar Beach) to the north. The road after Sugar Beach becomes a little rough, but intrepid beach goers (with 4 wheel drive) can find special spots with total privacy most days of the week.

Please be sure to drive on safe terrain and be mindful of tidal schedules.
