PLAYAS POCHOTE & TAMBOR

These two mangrove-backed gray-sand beaches are protected by Bahía Ballena, the largest bay on the southeastern peninsula, and are surrounded by a few small fishing communities. In the past 15 years, however, the area has slowly developed as a resort destination; the outcome has been less than green. Fortunately, there are a few good choices for accommodations in the area, and for the most part Pochote and Tambor are untouristed, providing plenty of opportunities for hiking, swimming, kayaking and even whale-watching.

The beaches begin 14km south of Paquera, at the community of Pochote, and stretch for about 8km southwest to Tambor – they’re divided by the narrow and wadeable estuary of the Río Pánica.
