from Playa del Coco.
TAXI
A taxi from Liberia to Playa del Coco costs US$50. Taxis between Playa del Coco and

Playa Hermosa
Playa Hermosa, or 'beautiful beach', is a lovely, wide and languid sheltered bay, framed by
headlands and sprinkled with coconut palms and olive trees. Although it's only 5.5km (by
road) north of Playa del Coco, and development is springing up rapidly along this entire
coastline, Hermosa feels more remote.
