Very popular, Playa Ventanas is the favorite beach of the locals and certainly the most popular in the canton of Osa. People come here for swimming, surfing, but above all to have a good time with family or friends around a good grill in a local and festive atmosphere.

The beach is supervised and safe for swimming and the exit from a small river allows children to swim in a natural pool in complete tranquility.
