Blanca Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, and, as its name implies, it’s a white sand beach with crystal clear turquoise waters and gentle surf, which is surrounded by lush vegetation typical of dry tropical forest located in the Gulf of Papagayo in Guanacaste province.

Blanca Beach is a quiet beach less than 1 km long, ideal for taking a bath, practice some diving, snorkeling or simply relaxing in the sun and enjoying this paradise. Blanca beach, along with Virador Beach (located on the opposite side and a few meters) form a narrow natural bridge that joins Punta Mala, also from the shore you can see the fascinating landscape of Panama Beach. Although Blanca beach is located inside the Four Seasons Hotel, it has no facilities or services to visitors.
