Overview
Brasilito is a small fishing village on Costa Rica's Gold Coast that has become a budget-friendly alternative to nearby Tamarindo and Flamingo. The town boasts a long grey sand beach that remains largely undeveloped, and Conchal Beach—one of the most beautiful beaches in the world—is just a 10-minute walk away.
