If you have a car and want to take a day trip this beach is great to go to. It’s on the peninsula and you need to park at the parking lot of the hotel but they provide free transportation to and from the beach!

Banks

Can use ATMs to get either dollars or colones. Most banks you cannot take more than $600 max out at a time. It’s best to use the ATM as you will probably wait a long time if you try to go inside and see a teller, especially at BNCR.
