Azul Beach Costa Rica located at the mouth of the Tarcoles River, in Puntarenas, is a beach with dark gray sands and blue waters.
Due to its proximity to the Tarcoles River, Azul beach surroundings are ideal for bird watching, as well as a wide variety of other mangrove vegetation and wildlife. However, it is not advisable to swim in the area, since alligators go from the river to the sea.
