Is Playa Zancudo the place for me ?!?

     Many of us who live and vacation here in Playa Zancudo originally come from points much farther North on the globe. Every winter we are reminded how lucky we are to be able to come to a place like this and hide from the cold dark days we've left behind.
     But, the true gift of Zancudo goes much deeper then the nice weather and beautiful remote beach during the Winter months !!
     The gift that stays with you, the gift that touches you, the gift that makes you come back again and again are the people that this place attracts ! ;) 

     There has been many things said about Playa Zancudo over the years. "The home of the wanted and the un-wanted !" ... " A sunny place for shady  people" ... "We are all here because We are not all there !" ... " Playa Zan-Cuckoo - An open air SANITARIUM " !!! ... but these sayings are just a reflection of the humorous mind set of the people that look upon Zancudo as a place to be yourself and enjoy this remote Tropical Beach Paradise at 'The End of The Road' !!  It's true that the cast of Characters here is truly unique, but then ... so is Zancudo ;) 



     Is Playa Zancudo for everyone ? Well, probably not if I were to be honest ! This is a no frills place. It is hidden in the southern most part of Costa Rica and is literally at the 'End of The Road'. It's a small little fishing village with a single dirt road running down the center of a sand peninsula that separates the Pacific Ocean & Golfo Dulce from a huge Mangrove Estuary & the Coto river.
      Zancudo has a local population of less than five hundred people with a couple of General Stores, a small Elementary School and a three man Police Station.  This is not a 'Club Med' or some Tourist Trap Town where some local guy is on every corner trying to sell you a Coconut with "Pura Vida" painted on it !! No fancy Condos or Boardwalks or all that other nonsense.  It's just a little quiet remote Beach Town with a character and charm all it's own . 
     You can see for yourself on the website that hosts this Blog ~ www.visitzancudo.com ~ or follow along with us on our Facebook page - 'Visit Zancudo' - to get a feel for what I'm trying to say here. Take some time and look through the "Archives" (top right) of the past few seasons of this Blog and ask your self if this is a place that you would like to experience . 
     So, is it everyone's dream destination ? ... Probably not. Would or could you live here year round ?... Some of us do !  Will you meet some interesting people when you're hear ?... Without question !!  Will it be one of the most tranquil  and beautiful places you've ever been ? ... I guarantee it !! 
    There is another saying we use around here when someone asks if they would enjoy a vacation in our little remote beach town - " If getting away from it all is what you are all about " ... Visit Zancudo !! ;) !!


Pura Vida !!!

     Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica is that place you dream of or see in a movie and wonder if places like that really exist. If it does, is it some exclusive private place that only the "Rich & Famous" go ? A place that costs buckets of money and without an Ivy League Education you just don't seem to fit in ?
  ... Zancudo would be the POLAR OPPOSITE of that !!
     This magical little Fishing Village, hidden at 'The End of The Road' in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica is a haven for those of us who 'march to a different drum'. It's off the beaten path and below the tourist radar and attracts a type of people that are here for all the same reasons. It's a place to just be yourself and look for new experiences . A place to download your day to day troubles away and relax to the bottom of your soul.  A place to reflect, to plan, to get reacquainted with the important things or people in your life.  It's a place where sayings like "No blood, No foul" & "You be you and I'll be me" really mean something. A place to spend a week, a month or even six months while you clear your head and realize what is really important to you in your life.
     It's all that, hidden in a Tropical Beach Paradise that few people even know exists on the planet anymore. There is nothing fancy about our little Beach Town and that's just the way we like it. Dinner Jackets and Evening Gowns need not apply !  If "who you are" is more important then "how is everybody" then do us a favor and go someplace else for vacation.
     But ... if this famous saying about our little spot in Paradise brings a smile to your face ... you're invited !!!

                "We're all here because, We're not all there"

Pura Vida My Friends,
Hope to see you on the Beach ;)
