The Neighborhood:
Brasilito is a beach town between Huacas and Flamingo with a traditional Costa Rican feel but also many businesses that cater to tourism.

Brasilito has several smallish hotels, little soda restaurants and larger restaurants. The relatively new Masala Indian Food is excellent, and the Patagonia del Mar steakhouse is very popular. There are various small convenience stores and the well-stocked Super Conchal. The Sea Star Souvenir store is a great place to buy gifts.

Downtown Brasilito has a large, open field that is primarily used as a parking lot for people walking to Playa Conchal. Conchal is sometimes called the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica, and it’s well worth a visit, but you have to walk about half a kilometer from Brasilito to get there. This field is also used for seasonal fairs and rodeos, with a temporary bullring that’s erected every year in February.

Horseback riding is another popular activity. You’ll often see horses tied up on the beach waiting for customers who want to ride.

Brasilito is small enough that you can easily get around on foot. Visit some of the lively bars at night, and you may feel like a party is breaking out everywhere at once.

Work began in February 2023 on expanding the one-lane bridge in the heart of town to a two-lane bridge with pedestrian sidewalks. The work was expected to take up to six months, with a detour from the Beach Community Church in the south to the Agua y Sal bakery in the north. Pedestrians and motorcycles are able to cross at the bridge construction site, but cars and trucks are not. Completion of this work will unclog a major regional bottleneck that has always caused traffic jams.

On the southern outskirts of Brasilito, there’s an Ebais medical clinic, a police station, the private Hospital Metropolitano, the Costa Rica International Academy, and the high-end Reserva Conchal resort, with two hotels and a golf course. In nearby Huacas, there’s a gas station, several large grocery stores, all kinds of shops, the Beach Side Clinic hospital and other conveniences.

Getting Around:
Our dedicated agents are at your service, ready to assist you in securing a rental car, granting you the freedom to explore the area at your own pace. For short jaunts to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are a popular choice for convenient mobility. Alternatively, you can opt for a bicycle to navigate the town and its surroundings.

In addition, we can arrange hassle-free airport transfers for your convenience. If you prefer the ease of having a rental car waiting for you at your property, we offer complimentary delivery services. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive from the airport to your destination in our private van.

While taxis are available, they may be somewhat challenging to find. Many locals rely on buses for transportation, although there is a limited selection of routes and schedules. Private shuttles are an excellent choice for reaching nearby destinations, and numerous tour companies offer transportation to and from their tours.
