Beautiful white sand beach popular with advanced surfers, only 20 minutes from The Oaks. Park like a local in the parking lot of the quaint hotel Las Tortugas, use their private beach entrance and pay them back by getting a tropical drink at their outdoor second floor restaurant. Gorgeous sunsets and beach, quieter than Tamarindo. Leatherback turtle watching in January.
