Beautiful church and congregation. Catholic Mass starts at 11am on a Sunday. Tabernacle was open for prayers before it. A beautiful statue of Our Lady. The church is now painted a brown/red colour. Mass in Spanish.

Wonderful church in Coco beach. Standing room only for 10:00 am mass. People from all over the world attended service. Father thank all from USA for our support. Very friendly parishioners like the rest of Costa Rica. They sell hand made local rosaries after mass.

(Translated by Google) The Catholic Church is very beautiful on the beaches of Coco But the only problem we have is that they do not open it daily, only on Sundays at 11 in the morning (Original) La Iglesia Católica es muy bonita en playas del Coco Pero el único problema que tenemos es que no la abren diario solo los días domingo a las 11 de la mañana

Coco Water Taxi

Mentioned on 
Vacation home rental agency
Took a boat taxi ride from the Riu Guanacaste to Coco Beach. We saw dolphins on our journey and had an excellent time in Coco. Great restaurants and good shopping in Coco Beach.
Jason Lang — Google review
One of the staff members at the Riu Palace recommended taking the water taxi to go to Playa del Coco and check out the shops in the town there. What a fun way to travel! The staff/boat operators were fantastic; the water was choppy but they made sure to help us in & out of the boat safely, and kept checking in with us along the ride to make sure we were okay with them driving fast over the waves- we preferred it! Fun ride, gorgeous scenery, a nice staff, and an efficient way to get to a cute shopping town!

Water taxi is great. Quick way to coco. Views on the way are fantastic. Whales and dolphins. The rest of the rentals compare with the beach guys some of it is over priced.

Went here on a Sunday. Family picnics everywhere. Small little seaside town with souvenir shops and plenty of restaurants.

I uses the water taxis multiple times during my trips to the Gauncaste region. Excellent way to get around the coast. The captain gave us an up close look at some caves in the sea wall that are only exposed during low tide.

Great experience. The best was to get to Coco Beach. The Captain was so funny, lots of laughs. In fact, the tour guide thought they were comedians because they kept cracking jokes. Lots of fun, very entertaining awesome ride. A must when in Guancaste.

I went once and plan to come back. The worship was great, they sang modern songs from Hillsong and Bethel, I was in heaven! The pastor is very passionate when he preaches which is refreshing. They also have a lot of iniciatives for Playas Del Coco.

A warm environment to fellowship with other Christians! So many opportunities to volunteer - from teaching English to building to feeding centers. We've loved being part of this wonderful Christian outreach.

The word of God is being shared here. It may not be everyones' cup of tea, especially if you're not walking with Christ. But if you want to grow into a devoted follower of Jesus, this is the place.
