Can Kayak here from the house! Or easy drive....
Penca is a beauty! Great swimming, and walking. Few areas to get shade. Bring your own water and snacks, please pack out your garbage. You can access Prieta beach by walking almost to the end of Penca, jump on the trail, and check out Prieta, More areas of shade, completely different from Penca.

Neighborhoods
Nestled next to Playa Flamingo in the quiet fishing village of Potrero, Playa Potrero is tranquil and serene.
Playa Potrero is located along the northwest Pacific coast of Guanacaste, surrounded by rolling hills, tropical vegetation and diverse wildlife. Gorgeous turquoise waters that stretch over the sand beaches of the bay area. This beach community is ideal for watching the sun set in all its glory.
Sportsfishing
As a historic sportfishing community, Playa Potrero has gotten its claim to fame from avid anglers that cast a line in the waters just off shore each year. After all, the region is known as the sailfish capital of the world.
Fisherman reel in record-sized fish in nearly every category, so it's no surprise that sportfising is the No. 1 activity in the area.
Scuba diving
There are several top diving spots located just off the shore of Potrero, including the chain known as the Catalinas.
These small islands were formed by volcanic pinnacles, and have, over time, become one of the best locations from which to view marine life.
Divers can find eagle rays, whale sharks, black tip sharks, humpbacks and manta rays underneath the waters depending on the season.
Perfect Weather
The weather in Playa Potrero is near perfect, as the temperatures stick around the 80's and 90's during the day.
This region also receives less rain than other parts of Costa Rica, and its dry season spans from November to April. During this time, the nights are cooler as winds from north come through after the sun sets.
