Beaches Near One Hacienda Pinilla: Your Access to Guanacaste's Coast

One of the most important reasons to call One Hacienda Pinilla home is the easy access to Tamarindo’s outdoor living, which becomes part of your daily experience. Stretching along the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, the One Hacienda Pinilla community offers residents direct, walkable access to three of the most stunning beaches in all of Costa Rica.

The beaches surrounding the One Hacienda Pinilla real estate development have something waiting for you.

Walkability as a Way of Life

In any typical coastal resort, reaching the sea requires driving, trying to find parking, and avoiding the crowds. The developers of Hacienda Pinilla, however, had something else in mind.

Investors choosing Costa Rica from car-dependent cities, where you really need a car for everything, often find they didn't realize how much they'd miss being able to walk places. When going to the beach is part of your everyday activity instead of something planned, the flow of your lifestyle will change.

You can choose from the many beaches and different beach activities in every zone:

Snorkel or scuba diving
Catamaran sailing
Tanning at the beach
Swimming
Surfing
Sportfishing
Horseback riding

Playa Mansita: Beach Access Right at Your Door

What sets One Hacienda Pinilla apart from other communities in the area is its proximity to the beach, offering residents the best beach access within minutes.

Access to the beautiful Mansita Beach is just 5 minutes from the entrance of the development. Making Playa Mansita a convenient spot to go for an early morning walk along the beach or watch the sunset in the evening.

Mansita is a private white sand beach with gentle waves, with alternative access through the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa. One Hacienda Pinilla residents can choose the One Membership residency alternative to enjoy all hotel amenities, with Playa Mansita as the heart of the experience.

Full beach service through the One Membership, in Playa Mansita, comes with loungers and drinks delivered to your spot on the beach. Mansita's gentle waves are perfect for safe family swimming and boogie boarding, or simply relaxing and tanning under the Guanacaste sun.

Mansita is a unique jewel within the project.

Playa Avellanas: The Surfer's Spot

Playa Avellanas is known for its location inside the Hacienda Pinilla Development, 10 minutes away from the One Hacienda Pinilla community. Avellanas is considered one of the best spots for surfing in Costa Rica, with high waves and international surfing competitions. You can walk through the shoreline and get through Playa Mansita, and arrive at the Avellanas beach in one walk. Avellanas receives surfers from around the world, making it a top end destination for surfers and beach lovers.

Playa Avellanas offers the ideal setting for daytime beach activities, complemented by a variety of nearby dining options.

Playa Langosta offers a unique place to spend your days, morning walks, and strolls around the beach. Playa Langosta is a coastal area with one of the strongest real estate markets, full of foreigners who enjoy their stay in a private and secluded environment. The surrounding area has small restaurants and cafés where you can grab a fresh ceviche or a cold beer after an afternoon in the water.
