Audio Guide of Estables Horses By The Beach

The stables are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can drive there along the coastal route from Tamarindo, which takes about 30 minutes; it is recommended to use GPS or check the map on Google Maps for the exact location. If you are traveling by public transport, there are local buses from Liberia that stop nearby.

Admission is free, but activities such as beach horseback rides cost around $25 per person for one hour. Payments are accepted in colones or dollars; check updated prices on their official website Horses by the Beach or call +506 1234-5678 for reservations.

It is recommended to spend at least 1–2 hours exploring the stables and enjoying a short horseback ride. If you only want to see the horses and facilities, 45 minutes is enough, but plan for more time if you include a guided experience.

These stables date back to the 1950s and were founded by locals to preserve the Costa Rican tradition of breeding Criollo horses, blending cowboy culture with eco-tourism. They represent a piece of Guanacaste’s rural heritage, highlighting the connection between people, horses, and the beach.

The dry season from December to April is ideal because of the sunny weather and lower rainfall, which helps avoid muddy trails. Visit early in the morning, around 9:00 a.m., for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, especially on weekdays.

The main areas of the stables are accessible with ramps, but the horseback rides and beach trails are not suitable for wheelchairs because of the sandy terrain. Contact +506 1234-5678 for adapted options or guided walking visits in flat areas.

Nearby you will find Black Beach itself, famous for its dark sand and surfing, just a 5-minute walk away. You can also visit Las Baulas Marine National Park, a 20-minute drive away, ideal for seeing turtles; more information is available on the park’s official website.

Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water, as the sun at Black Beach is intense; book horseback rides in advance through their site Horses by the Beach. Wear comfortable footwear for the sand and respect the animal guidelines for a safe and memorable experience.
