Relax in the natural pools of Playa de Corales

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Playa Corales offers natural pools, calm water and small crabs – perfect for relaxed hours at low tide.

What you can experience here

Just a few minutes south of Puerto Viejo lies a quiet stretch of coast: Playa Corales. Pale sand, turquoise water and palm trees swaying in the wind create a scene that looks almost painted. Especially at low tide the small beach turns into a mosaic of natural pools – warm, calm and ideal for swimming.

You can let yourself drift in the shallow water while your gaze wanders over the green rainforest on the horizon. Small crabs sun themselves on the flat rocks and, with a little patience, you can watch them wonderfully. The natural pools are a particular highlight for children – safe, shallow and full of small discoveries.

It’s best to visit Playa Corales at low tide, when the pools are most clearly defined. But swimming is also possible at high tide.
