When visiting Punta Leona

However, visiting during the green season can be equally rewarding as you witness the lush rainforest come alive. Punta Leona is a private community with their own access to the beaches. Still, there is an old-public road that turns off of 34hwy and takes you all the way to the beach (Playa Mantas), and on low-tide you can walk to Playa Blanca, make sure you are watching the tides as on a half to full tide you wont be able to make it back.

Accommodation options in Punta Leona cater to various preferences and budgets. Whether you choose to stay in a luxurious beachfront resort or a cozy eco-lodge nestled in the rainforest, you’ll find a place that suits your needs.
