Discovering Esterillos

One of the most memorable ways to experience Esterillos is from the back of a horse. Our ranch in Esterillos Este offers horseback rides along the wide-open beach, where you can enjoy the sunset, spot wildlife, and experience the coastline in a way that feels timeless.

Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or on a solo adventure, a ride on the sand is a must-do.

Esterillos may not have the same name recognition as its neighbors, but that’s exactly why travelers fall in love with it. From the mermaid statue and tide pools of Esterillos Oeste, to the hidden Guamalotillo waterfall, to the surf of Playa Hermosa, this area blends adventure with relaxation. If you’re heading between Jaco and Manuel Antonio, don’t just drive past Esterillos. Stop, explore, and see why this stretch of beach has so much to offer.
