Costa Rica is often praised for its scenic locations, but it still has several places that are yet to be recognized. One such place is Playa Chiquita that sits near the Caribbean coast where you can enjoy a meal or two from its little restaurants, and shop for fresh produce in the farmer’s market, plus, it will give you the luxury of being able to visit the stunning beaches, tropical rainforests, and national parks.
