Nicoya Penn.:Fastest Travel Route?

Question

What is the fastest way from San Jose airport to Playa Coyote/Casa Caletas in Costa Rica?

Answer 1

That route sounds very well planned, but I think a better option is to take the ferry from Puntarenas. You go west from San Jose to Puntarenas, catch the ferry which then takes you over the Nicoya Gulf so you can enjoy the ride a bit. Once on the Peninsula there are a few routes, but the nicest would be to wind around the coast to Mal Pais and Playa Coyote. Here is a little map to show you. Playa Coyote is just north of Mal Pais.

Answer 2

Take the main road north to guanacaste, after you pass puntarenas entrance you will be in guanacaste, keep driving for 50 km approximately and when you see a shell gas station on your left, there will be a sign that say nicoya and tempisque river and bridge, make a left and follow the road and the signs to Nicoya, at the end of that road there is a T make a left and follow the road to Carmona town, when you get there follow the road to Coyote point in Spanish "punta Coyote", and from there to Caletas beach I hope that there you will find Casa Caleta.
