Beso del Viento  " Playa Palo Seco ? Never heard of it ", say many residents and Costa Ricans alike. The guidebooks don't mention it and few people visit it, despite the fact that it's only a three-hour drive from San José. The waves of the Pacific Ocean pound the shore of this deserted palm-fringed beach, an endless stretch of sand as far as the eye can see. To the rear of this narrow strip of land, the mangroves of the Palo Seco Estuary join those of the River Damas. Not difficult to find, Playa Palo Seco is only 40 Km. from Jacó on the Central Pacific coast and 20 Km. from Quepos. The nightmarish strip of road that joins these towns is now a wide, paved, almost pothole-free rarity in Costa Rica. No need for a 4 x 4 vehicle. From the small bustling town of Parrita you need face only 6 Km. of dirt road to reach Beso del Viento - Kiss of de Wind - a treasure of tranquility and comfort. For those seeking a self-catering family vacation or a snowbird hideaway from city life and popular beach destinations, here's your answer.
