Getting Around Playa del Coco

On foot: Playa del Coco is pleasantly pedestrian friendly, making a car-less vacation simple and enjoyable. Hotels in the center of town are close to restaurants, most amenities, and almost every tour outfitter. When a car is needed, taxis are available and easily hailed from the beachfront plaza.

Car: Cars may be rented in Liberia, and during the dry season, any mid-sized car will suffice. For those arriving in the rainy season, a 4WD is recommended, as pouring rains wash out many of Coco’s streets. Car rentals run $35-80 per day, depending on size and capabilities.

Taxi: Taxis are widely available in Coco Beach, and most downtown destinations can be reached for less than $2.

Public Bus: There is no intercity public bus in Playa del Coco, though its small area is easily covered on foot. Public buses will deliver you to Liberia to the east or Playa Hermosa to the north.
