Playa San Josecito
Playa San Josecito is a secluded, golden-sand crescent located approximately 6 kilometers (4 miles) south of Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula. In 2026, it remains one of Costa Rica’s premier "off-the-grid" beaches, celebrated for its clear turquoise waters and dense rainforest that grows directly up to the shoreline.
