Take some advice from a Guy who knows how to enjoy the coming of a New Year.
     Working like crazy all year to keep the schedules going and making sure the deadlines are met. Making sure all the T's are crossed & I's are dotted, this guy brings in a fresh New Year in a hammock, with a "Boat Drink", on the beach !!!  Who in their right mind can argue with this Dudes logic ?!?

     Well, those of us here in Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica know just how The Big Man feels !!
... and, to put it simply ~ We're with him !!!

     Playa Zancudo is a remote, Tropical Beach Hide-a-Way in the Southern most reaches of Costa Rica. A small little fishing village at the very "End of The Road" with a population of less than 500 people. A five mile long sand peninsula with a single dirt road running down the middle of it all the way to the point.
      On one side of this peninsula is the Coto River that comes from the mountains and heads for Zancudo & the ocean. There is a giant Mangrove Jungle Estuary created by this merging and Kayaking through them or touring up the river are adventure not too miss. 
      On the other side of our dirt road is the Golfo Dulce & The Pacific Ocean. The beach here stretches on for miles and miles with little or no development in site. You can literally walk for miles up the beach and never see a soul.

     Now, is Playa Zancudo for everyone ? Well ... no !! This is no "Club Med" or cheesy tourist town. There are no Casinos, Big Hotels or 'Chain' Restaurants to be had here. This is a REMOTE Tropical Beach fishing village where nothing over two stories has ever been built.
     In the not too distant past it was no easy trick getting down here. That part has gotten a little better over the years but we are still well off the "beaten path" to say the least !! With that, comes a kind of "filter" that helps keep people away that wouldn't "get it" anyway ;) 
      This is the REAL COSTA RICA my friends. No hype, no hook, just a small little fishing village that just happens to be one of the most unforgettable layed back Tropical beach Hide-a-Ways on the planet.

     We know most of you up north have already made your plans for the Holidays. We also know that many of you genuinely enjoy the Holiday season and all the traditions that come along with this magical time of the year. But, may we suggest, after all the Holiday Cheer is over you start looking SOUTH !!!
     It looks like Old Man Winter has some nasty plans instore this year and those of us who live here in the Tropics want nothing to do with it. For many of you the Winter can be long, dark and COLD !!

​For US ... not so much ! ;) !

     Here in Costa Rica the 'Winter' months just happen to be the nicest time of our year. Playa Zancudo is located in the Southern most reaches of this Central American jewel and while our friends in the North Country are fight through the cold we are getting in our beach time.

     The choice seems clear to those of us who live & vacation here on the Playa !!!

     Enjoy all that the 'Traditional' Holiday Season has to offer you and yours this year, and then ... make a decision ... the entire Winter, like "THEM" or like "US" !!

     There was a time many years ago that I looked forward to Cross Country Skiing, Snowboarding, Winter Camping and Ice Fishing. These were things that I longed for during the summer months and cheerfuly prepared for during the Fall.
Well folks ... those days are GONE !!

     These days ... come "Fall" time, I'm jumping to a differant tune !! It's the "Endless Summer" of Playa Zancudo here in the southern most reaches of Costa Rica that puts that big smile on my face. At just 8 degrees above the Equator and living at sea level, we enjoy Summer Temperatures year round. We do have a few months of the "Green Season" (October & November) that can drop epic amounts of rain in our area but if that is the price of Paradise ... I'm in !!
     When you add the incredible weather here to the pristine Tropical Beauty of this place, I am hard pressed to figure out why this place isn't just swarming with people ?!?

     We are quite remote here in Playa Zancudo. We are here on the Pacific Coast at the southern most reaches of Costa Rica and literally at "The End of The Road".  The  Goverment of Costa Rica, in recent years, has invested alot into the infrastructure of the "Southern Zone" as it is called and continues to make access to the general area better each year. But Zancudo and our neighbor just around the Golfo, the Famous Surfing town of Pavones, are still off the beaten path a bit. Believe me,  I'm not complaining !! It's the reason the "Swarms" aren't Swarming !!   ;)

     "IF getting away from it ALL is what YOU are all about" and you are looking for a place to do it, have a closer look at Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica !! Follow along with us on our FaceBook page ~ "Visit Zancudo" ~ and take a little time to look through this Website ~ www.visitzancudo.com ~ It could be just what the Doctor ordered !

  ps.    If there is someone you know, Family or Friends, that have been looking for a Remote Tropical Beach Hide-a-Way in Paradise, 'Share' this information with them ... they will forever be in your debt !!  ;)             Pura Vida !!

     This is always a fantastic time of the year here in Playa Zancudo !
       Our "Green" season made her exit in a tantrum and just about put us all under water. Fourty-sum inches of rain in just a couple of weeks had the beach cut off from the rest of Costa Rica and water flowing down our one road like a  river !! A good friend and I even took a Kayak trip down the center of the road to survey the damage and stop in at a local "wateringhole" for a well needed cocktail !! Then, of course, a Hurricane attacked the other coast of Costa Rica with such a large weather system it spanded the entire country !!!  Living remote here in the Tropics is truely amazing ;)

     Well, that's all over now ;) and for the next eight months we will be living in an ideal Tropical Paradise. This is also the time of year that all of our "regulars" start to trickle back into town from their seasonal hiding places as they slip away from the looming winter months of their homelands and prepare for the Endless Summer here with us.        "LET THE GAMES BEGIN" !!!

     Now is also the time when YOU should start making YOUR plans to "Visit Zancudo". To come down and enjoy our little slice of Paradise. To get away from the hustle & bustle of every day and download all your stress away. To slip away from the cold claws of your winter and recharge your soul's batteries in a remote Tropical Beach Hide-a-Way at "The End of The Road".

     Make sure you "Like" our FaceBook page - Visit Zancudo - and look through our town Website - www.visitzancudo.com - to learn more about this Magical place.
We would also appreciate it if you would share this information with like minded people who may be looking for that one of a kind place that once experienced will never leave your mind ;)                        PURA VIDA !!
