La Parrita itself is a small, peaceful village centrally located between Manuel Antonio and Jaco. Driving through town you’ll see large palm plantations and a handful of amenities such as shops and local restaurants. While the village itself is limited, it can be experienced as a peaceful base with easy access to the busy and vibrant neighboring urban areas of Jaco and Manuel Antonio. Following the La Parrita River through the middle of town to where it joins the Pacific, you’ll discover the unpopulated beach of Palo Seco. Stretching as far as the eye can see, the Palo Seco beach is dotted with small hotels and offers many opportunities for lounging, walking, swimming or boogie boarding. Combination kayaking and snorkeling tours are available.
