Sardinal is the Costa Rican town that Playas del Coco belongs to administratively, sitting about seven kilometers inland along the road from the highway to the coast. It is where many of the people who work in Coco's hotels, restaurants, and construction trades live, and it has the everyday services of a real town: schools, a clinic, churches, a soccer field, ferreterías, and sodas serving casados for a few dollars.
For buyers, Sardinal and the countryside around it offer two things Coco cannot: land and value. Larger lots, homes with room for gardens and workshops, and income properties like duplexes that rent to local professionals rather than tourists. Ocean-view estates on the ridges between Sardinal and the coast, such as the Lomas del Mar area, look down on both the Pacific and the volcanoes of the Guanacaste range. You are still 15 minutes from the beach and 25 from the airport.
It suits buyers who want more land, lower prices, and an authentically Costa Rican town, and who do not mind a 15-minute drive to the beach. Several long-term expats have chosen the Sardinal countryside over Coco for exactly those reasons. If walking to the beach and to restaurants matters to you, Coco or Ocotal is the better fit.
Our current listings in Sardinal range from $215,000 to $1,399,000. Ocean views, walking distance to the beach, and gated communities with pools carry a premium; inland lots and older Costa Rican homes offer the most for the money.
