This hidden neighborhood requires a quick ferry ride (2 mins) from the Boca Vieja neighborhood in Quepos. Arrive in another world. Very local, pretty beach with no tourists. See what hyper local laid back Quepos life is really like for the working class in a tropical colorful setting. Don't bring valuables.
