4K aerial views of Playa Brasilito - Guanacaste, Costa Rica (4K) (Aerial)

Welcome to this immersive 4K tour of Playa Brasilito, one of Guanacaste’s most authentic seaside towns on Costa Rica’s famous Gold Coast. This video takes you above the beach, across the shoreline, and through the laid-back community of Brasilito, offering a complete guide for travelers, surfers, and beach lovers.

History of Playa Brasilito & the Town:

Playa Brasilito is a traditional Costa Rican beach town located between Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal. Historically a quiet fishing community, Brasilito has preserved its local charm even as tourism has grown in the region. The town centers around a rustic beachfront plaza, small sodas (local restaurants), and family-run shops that reflect Costa Rica’s pura vida culture.

The beach itself is known for its long, sandy shoreline, calm atmosphere, and unobstructed views of the Pacific—perfect for morning walks, sunset watching, and photography.

Surf Conditions & Peak Surf Months:

While Brasilito is not a major surf destination like nearby Tamarindo or Playa Grande, it does offer fun beginner-friendly waves at certain times of the year.

Peak surf months: May–October (the green season), when Pacific swells are strongest.
Best for beginners: Smaller, consistent waves during November–January.
Surfers staying in Brasilito also enjoy quick access to some of Costa Rica’s top breaks, including Playa Grande, Playa Tamarindo, and Playa Avellanas.

Nearby Attractions:

Playa Conchal – Just a short walk from Brasilito, famous for its crushed-shell sand and turquoise water.

Las Baulas National Marine Park – Near Playa Grande; known for leatherback turtle nesting.
Tamarindo – About 25 minutes away with vibrant nightlife, restaurants, and surf culture.
Rincón de la Vieja National Park – Around 1.5 hours inland; great for hiking, hot springs, and volcanic activity.
