Nice To Look At
Playa Langosta的点评
点评：One of the things my wife especially enjoys about our winter getaways is the beach. For her the enjoyment is either lazing on the beach listening to the water lapping against the shore, and/or swimming in calm warm waters. Our most recent winter trip was to Costa Rica and having been here before, I attempted to explain that the beaches there were nothing like those in the Caribbean.
There beaches are often soft white sand perfect for walking on and at least some of the ones we’ve enjoyed are often sheltered either by reefs or bays and the waters gentle with small or no waves, perfect for swimming.
Costa Rica, and in fact the entire Pacific Coast is generally the opposite, with the beach open to the force of the ocean thundering in, in large rolling waves and riptides. Having already visited Mexico and Panama on previous trips this was something she was aware of, and some pre trip research videos and photos confirmed this but we still opted for Costa Rica.
All major beaches in Costa Rica are public and open to anyone and Playa Langosta the beach in front of our resort the Occidental Tamarindo was no exception. This was not an issue as we’ve been to public beaches before from Spain to Cuba.
The relative isolation of this one south of the town of Tamarindo does prevent most crowds and the usual vendors from visiting as is the case of those elsewhere.
Playa Langosta stretches south along the coast of Guanacaste Province from Punta Gorda to the river estuary that marks the northern border of the Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas.
South of the river it becomes the equally isolated and pristine Playa Pacifica. In fact, at low tide, one can easily wade across the river mouth and visit the other beach.
If one does so be very aware of when the tide comes back in because at high tide one either must swim back or make a very long three hour walk south along the beach to the nearest trail inland. Then one faces a further hike of almost two hours up to the main highway heading north back to Tamarindo a half hour drive or two-hour walk away.
Playa Langosta is mainly isolated because there are only a few paths leading down to it open to the public. Many of the paths are on the property of the Occidental Tamarindo resort, and/or other condos, private residences and hotels. It is only to the north nearer Punta San Franciso that there is easy public access.
While this limits the crowds and vendors, to a few massage tables at the northern end, there are also no facilities including beach bars and/or washrooms. For guests staying at the resort or another adjacent place this is not an issue, but it can be for those visiting for the day.
While isolation may be a good thing, the actual beach itself is more of something to look at rather than swim. It is relatively straight and totally exposed with no coves, reefs or islands to break up the relentless waves pounding the shore.
Coupled with this the shore itself is covered with large black volcanic or coral rock formations. They are nice to look at and do create some tidal pools that offer areas for swimming but also preclude easy access to the beach and the water’s edge.
The best option for swimming is the southern end where the river estuary meets the ocean. Here there are calmer waters to enjoy. Some reviews I’ve read do mention the river has crocodiles in it, but I didn’t see any and believe they’re further upstream.
This section of the beach though is the least shaded, and the sun here is very powerful. Moving further upstream and/or into the treeline does offer some relief but often then must deal with insects.
There are also no sun loungers available except that from the resort itself, so one can either drag one across the beach from the resort if a guest, bring their own or do without.
For guests at the Occidental Tamarindo there is a shaded are a with plenty of loungers at the end of the path to the resort proper by the lifeguard station.
The beach itself is a mixture of sand and crushed shells which for some may make walking without water shoes a bit hard. There is also some debris and driftwood washed ashore especially to the area north of the resort. Fortunately, there is not as much man made garbage as the more populated beaches.
While not the best place for swimming, there are three activities
Playa Langosta is great for. The first is fishing. We saw numerous fishing rods among the guest’s luggage or propped up beside the buffet tables. Both guest and locals seem to enjoy a day surf fishing either off the rocks or past the estuary. One guest we chatted with at the bar one evening said he was out every day, and it was the most enjoyable part of his trip.
The second activity is surfing. Costa Rica is famous for its surfing and Guanacaste seems to be one of the epi centres. There were numerous surf schools and board rentals in Tamarind and even one on the path from the resort to the beach itself.
The waves here make conditions almost perfect for those who enjoy this sport both visitors and locals as we saw almost every day. This is not a beach for beginners though as we were advised. Unlike Tamarindo beach which is more sheltered and suitable for first timers this one does require more expertise and experience.
The third and final activity happens daily and is the perfect end to a day on holiday, the sunset. The sunsets at Playa Langosta are spectacular and must be viewed to really be appreciated. There is a bit of a ritual as everyone seems to gather on the rocks about twenty minutes prior to dusk and watch the sun set slowly and magnificently below the horizon basking the entire area in a brilliant orange hue.

翻译：我妻子特别喜欢我们冬季度假的其中一点就是海滩。对她来说，享受海滩的方式要么是慵懒地躺在沙滩上，听着海浪拍打海岸的声音，要么是在平静温暖的海水中游泳。我们最近一次冬季旅行去了哥斯达黎加，因为之前去过那里，我试图向她解释那里的海滩和加勒比海的完全不同。
加勒比海的海滩通常是柔软的白色沙滩，非常适合散步，而且我们去过的一些海滩还被珊瑚礁或海湾环绕，海水平静，几乎没有波浪，非常适合游泳。
而哥斯达黎加，实际上整个太平洋沿岸的情况则截然相反，海滩直接暴露在汹涌的海浪之下，巨浪翻滚，暗流涌动。她之前去过墨西哥和巴拿马，所以对这种情况有所了解，而且行前的一些视频和照片也证实了这一点，但我们最终还是选择了哥斯达黎加。
哥斯达黎加所有主要海滩均为公共海滩，对所有人开放，我们入住的奥克西登塔塔马林多度假村前的朗戈斯塔海滩也不例外。这并非什么问题，因为我们之前去过西班牙和古巴等地的公共海滩。
由于朗戈斯塔海滩位于塔马林多镇以南，相对偏僻，因此不像其他地方那样人潮拥挤，也鲜少有小贩光顾。
朗戈斯塔海滩沿着瓜纳卡斯特省的海岸线向南延伸，从蓬塔戈尔达一直到标志着拉斯巴乌拉斯海洋国家公园北边界的河口。
河的南岸与同样僻静而原始的太平洋海滩相连。事实上，在退潮时，人们可以轻松地涉水穿过河口，前往另一处海滩。
如果这样做，请务必注意涨潮时间，因为在涨潮时，要么必须游回去，要么需要沿着海滩向南步行三个小时才能到达最近的内陆小径。然后，您需要徒步近两个小时才能到达通往北方的公路，再驱车半小时或步行两小时即可返回塔马林多。
兰戈斯塔海滩之所以如此偏僻，主要是因为只有几条小路向公众开放。许多小路都位于塔马林多西方度假村 (Occidental Tamarindo) 和/或其他公寓、私人住宅和酒店的范围内。只有在北部靠近圣弗朗西斯科角 (Punta San Franciso) 的地方，公众才能轻松到达。
虽然这限制了游客和商贩的数量（北端只有几张按摩床），但也没有任何设施，包括海滩酒吧和/或洗手间。对于住在度假村或其他附近地方的客人来说，这不成问题，但对于一日游的游客来说，这可能会造成一些不便。
虽然偏僻或许是件好事，但这个海滩本身更适合观赏而非游泳。它相对笔直，完全暴露在外，没有任何海湾、礁石或岛屿来阻挡不断拍打海岸的巨浪。
此外，海岸线本身覆盖着巨大的黑色火山岩或珊瑚岩。这些岩石景色优美，形成了一些潮汐池，可供游泳，但也阻碍了人们轻松前往沙滩和水边。
最佳游泳地点是河流入海口的南端。这里水面较为平静，可以尽情享受游泳的乐趣。我读到的一些评论提到河里有鳄鱼，但我没有看到，而且我认为它们应该在上游更远的地方。
不过，这片沙滩的遮荫处最少，阳光非常强烈。向上游走或进入树林可以稍微缓解一些阳光，但通常也会遇到昆虫。
除了度假村提供的躺椅外，这里没有其他躺椅可供使用，所以如果是度假村的客人，可以从沙滩上拖一把过来；或者自带躺椅；或者干脆不用。
对于入住奥克西登塔尔塔马林多酒店的客人来说，在通往度假村主干道的尽头，靠近救生站的地方，有一片阴凉的区域，摆放着许多躺椅。
海滩本身由沙子和碎贝壳混合而成，对于一些人来说，不穿水鞋行走可能会有些困难。此外，还有一些被冲上岸的垃圾和浮木，尤其是在度假村北部的区域。幸运的是，这里的垃圾比人多的海滩要少得多。
虽然这里并非游泳的最佳地点，但兰戈斯塔海滩却有三项活动非常适合。
首先是钓鱼。我们看到许多钓竿放在客人的行李中，或者摆放在自助餐桌旁。无论是客人还是当地人，似乎都喜欢在岩石上或河口附近进行海钓。一天晚上，我们在酒吧遇到一位客人，他说他每天都出海钓鱼，这是他旅途中最享受的部分。
第二项活动是冲浪。哥斯达黎加以冲浪而闻名，而瓜纳卡斯特似乎是冲浪胜地之一。塔玛林德有很多冲浪学校和冲浪板租赁店，甚至从度假村到海滩的小路上就有一家。
这里的海浪为冲浪爱好者提供了近乎完美的条件，无论是游客还是当地人，我们几乎每天都能看到他们在这里冲浪。不过，正如我们被告知的那样，这里并不适合初学者。与更平静、更适合初学者的塔马林多海滩不同，这里需要更多的技巧和经验。
第三项也是最后一项活动每天都会举行，也是结束一天假期的完美方式——欣赏日落。朗戈斯塔海滩的日落景色壮丽无比，必须亲眼目睹才能真正领略其魅力。这里似乎形成了一种仪式感：在黄昏前大约二十分钟，人们会聚集在岩石上，静静地欣赏太阳缓缓沉入地平线，将整个区域染成一片绚丽的橙色。
