How far are the homes from the beach?

Casas Bumerango, Warilla, and Verdugo are within walking distance of Playa Cocal, the beach in front of the town of Quepos, at about 1.5 km. But most people prefer the beaches of Manuel Antonio, which are 7 km away.

Buses depart from downtown Quepos every half hour, and the ride takes about 25 minutes. You can pick up the bus at the end of the soccer field, near the church, about a 3 minute walk from the homes. On the way back, get off in front of Pali supermarket.

Taxis are readily available and cost about $5.
