Maracuya Beach Club Ocotal

Locals call it the best place to bid the sun goodnight in Coco, and Cafe de Playa builds an entire experience around that one moment, hammocks and string lights included. Plan for an hour and stay for three.

Locals treat Tortuga Bar as the official start of the night in Playas del Coco, chifrijo and a chilled Imperial while reggaeton plays, and yes, they will cook whatever you caught that day.

Playa Ocotal is quieter than its neighbor Coco, and Father Rooster fits that pace exactly, fresh tacos and a sunset session that has no interest in being anywhere else.
