Playa Blanca - Manzanillo
Coarse golden grains of sand mix with the smooth pebbles of eroded seashells along the shores of Playa Blanca inside the Gandoca Manzanilllo Wildlife Refuge. From November through February, large waves roll in from the Caribbean breaking in a spectacular display as they roll over the off-shore reefs and crash against Manzanillo Point.
