Playa Chiquita Beach
Playa Chiquita has been awarded the Bandera Azul, meaning that it is one of the cleanest and healthiest beaches in Costa Rica. You will notice it right away just how pristine and beautiful this beach is.
Since the beach is made up of a few small bays, you can feel like you have it all to yourself. Palm trees envelop the entire shore and sometimes you will see horses roaming around!
There is a short trail that runs parallel to the shore, perfect for strolling under the palms in the shade.
When we visited in September, there was only one other person there – it was all ours in the morning. Other beaches around Puerto Viejo like Playa Cocles and Punta Uva can get crowded during high season or weekends but at Chiquita, I felt like I was in my own little beach paradise!
Can you swim?
Waves are quite calm since it is like a bay but there are rocks/reef so be careful if going swimming. You can find a spot between the rocks to sit in which is really nice!
Playa Chiquita Map
Here is the map of Playa Chiquita Costa Rica. It sits right in between Punta Uva and Playa Cocles and is about 6 kilometers (~3.7 miles) from Puerto Viejo.
You can easily drive, bike or take the bus to Playa Chiquita from Puerto Viejo.
Bus: There is a bus that runs from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo every day at 6:45, 7:45, 9:45, 11:45, 13:45, 16:45, 18:45 and 19:45 every day. On Sundays, they have extra service at 12:45. 15:45 and 17:45. You can get off at Chiquita (there is a big road sign).
There isn’t direct road access to the beach so if you drive, you will need to park on the road and walk down the trails to the beach.
Parking
There isn’t really a parking lot for Chiquita beach. We parked alongside the road and walked to the beach near Villas del Caribe.
4×4 required?
Nope!
Weather
Since Playa Chiquita is in the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, it doesn’t experience the typical dry and rainy tropical patterns. The Caribbean is humid all year long and doesn’t have strict dry – rainy seasons, it can even rain all year long. The sunniest months are September and October and rainiest are June and November.

Things to do at Playa Chiquita
Playa Chiquita is a great home base for your trip in Puerto Viejo for someone looking for a quiet and tranquil area. You’re also close to several attractions like Jaguar Rescue Center, an animal rescue center and Prancing Pony, horseback riding center and walking distance to the beach.
We stayed at Playa Chiquita for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. Since there is no road access, this beach is definitely way quieter and less crowded than others in the area which is particularly nice on the weekends when Puerto Viejo can get extremely loud. The beach itself is absolutely gorgeous, with the postcard perfect palm trees and dazzling blue water. We got to see the beautiful colors of the sunrise through our hotel window and had the whole beach to ourselves every morning.
Playa Chiquita Casino Sosua
We’ve stayed at Chiquita, Playa Negra, Cocles and in Puerto Viejo town and out of all those places, we loved Chiquita the most for how calm, beautiful and serene it is.

AFTER pocketing millions earlier this year following the sale of his Allied Medical Group, former GP Geoffrey Edelsten has forked out millions to buy a Dominican Republic resort and casino.
Edelsten and second wife Brynne last week exchanged contracts on the Playa Chiquita Resort and Casino, a small resort which sources say Edelsten bought for a song.
Although Edelsten's reps would not confirm the figure he paid yesterday, we were informed Edelsten plans to transform the Caribbean property into a nightclub with accommodation for 500.
'He will live part of the year there but will continue to base himself in Australia,' said his publicist John Scott.
Playa Chiquita (meaning small beach) is on the coast of Sosua and is one of two casinos in the region although the Dominican Republic itself is a gaming sanctuary.
To help manage the renovation Edelsten, 68, also snapped up a private jet - a Challenger 601 - which he will base in Miami for flights to the resort.
Edelsten had a colourful 45 years as a doctor, entrepreneur and one-time Sydney Swans investor/promoter.
The Allied sale reportedly swelled his wealth by $100 million, with some spent buying his wife's favourite Vegas fashion label, Nurielle, for which she is a designer.
