A trip to Potrero, 30 kilometres west, is a priority for many visitors. There's loads to keep you occupied here, like Flamingo Beach and Conchal Beach.
Feel like picking up seashells and chilling out on the coastline? Hermosa Bay Beach is located 16 kilometres from El Real. Sitting 18 kilometres away, Coco Beach is another inviting option.
Inhale some fresh air and appreciate the natural surrounds of Rincon de la Vieja Nationa Park. It sits 40 kilometres away from El Real. You can also find more peace and quiet at Santa Rosa National Park, 35 kilometres away.
Seize the opportunity to go to other close-by sights, such as the Papagayo Golf and Country Club and the Hidden Garden Art Gallery. These are situated 4 kilometres west in Guardia. Not ready to give back the hire car just yet? Ocotal Beach and Haras del Mar Equestrian Center are in Sardinal, 13 kilometres to the southwest of El Real.
You may feel the urge to set up camp in Liberia for a little bit. This destination is 13 kilometres away and quite close to Church of La Ermita La Agonia, Liberia Parque Central and the Sabanero Statue. A few other nearby sights are Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción de María and the Museo de Guanacaste.
There is no better way to experience a place than to literally take a big bite out of it! You're invited to discover North Pacific Coast by trying some of its finest food and drink.
A traditional ingredient in the food here is pork. One more is chicken. Give them a go if they're not a part of your food repertoire already.
Of course, you can't head home from El Real without sampling a plate of casado or arroz con pollo (rice and chicken). Popular with locals and considered regional specialties, they are an essential experience for any self-respecting foodie.
Tres leches (custard flan) is a dessert that sums up this place in a single mouthful. Order up a serving and then get another one to go!
It can be a challenge to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to good beers, but one brew worth trying is Bavaria. Grab a pint and bottoms up!
If your evening demands something a little stronger, try some Ron Centenario. On the rocks or in a cocktail — your bartender ought to know the best way to drink it.
Don't let a difference in language get in the way of a fun holiday! Make your trip to North Pacific Coast a more fulfilling one by memorising a couple of expressions in the local language. You'll be glad you learnt '¡Que pase un buen día!', which translates to 'have a nice day'. 'Bien gracias, ¿y tú?', which means 'fine thanks, and you?', is also quite common.
You're bound to sense excitement in the air around the 15th of September. The locals will be getting themselves ready for Independence Day, a day of nation-wide celebrations.
You may be poor in Costa Rican colóns when your holiday comes to an end, but you'll be rich in amazing experiences. "Adiós" El Real!
Choose to stay at any of our top-rated accommodations, such as the Hilton Garden Inn Liberia Airport and Best Western El Sitio Hotel & Casino, and you'll be sure to hop out of bed revitalised each morning.
