Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Beach front which is easily accessible by any kind of vehicle. Turn left before you cross the bridge and the beach stretches back from the river mouth until Limón. You can also walk through the river and continue south the beach. On the other side of the bridge are lots of small parking spaces under the trees but nothing for our big truck. Sundays were locals swimming and fishing, Mondays we were alone. No facilities.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Report Check-Inat the moment this trail is very overgrown and narrow but still passable if you don't mind leafy greens touching the side of your rig. trail is hard packed sand so you don't have to worry about getting stuck until your out of the bushes. big open beach with lots of space. you can walk for miles in either direction and not see anyone, but it's far from ideal for a lot of reasons. there is a bend in the highway right here that ensures that headlights from traffic heading towards Limon shine towards the camping area. so even though you're across the river, you are only 100m from the road and clearly visible to the highway. there is also a bridge right here that is only a single lane so trucks are constantly engine braking. even though it was a Wednesday with bad weather the soda across the river (I'm assuming this is where people are talking about getting showers) blasted music until midnight and then started again at 6am. I don't know if it's proximity to the river or what, but the no-see-ums were particularly bad here. it's a free spot on the beach, and that's about it.
Report Check-InBusy on Sunday as you would expect. Be careful of the sand if you don’t have 4x4. We had to dig ourselves out and watched at least four other cars get stuck too. Park nearer the river for firmer ground.
