Leatherback Turtles
This beach is only accessible during the day because it is patrolled by police after 6 p.m. to help protect the nesting sites of leatherback turtles.
Between October and May, turtles come ashore to lay their eggs during the night.
Playa Grande is considered to be the most important nesting site of these turtles, and locals take pride in protecting this land for these massive creatures.
As the largest of the sea turtles, leatherbacks can grow to be seven feet long and weigh up to 700 kilograms! Travelers wanting to catch a glimpse of these shy creatures can attend a tour from Playa Grande to Tamarindo.

ADDITIONAL HOUSE RULES
The house has a washer and dryer and we understand that guests sometimes do need to wash clothing. However, we no longer allow free guest access to either as we have had some disappointing experience with previous renters abusing this curtesy. Playa Grande is in the dry zone so we always ask that people be mindful of water usage. However, we do offer that our maids handle the washing for our guests though. Please coordinate with our house manager and our maids would be more than happy to help you with washing and/ or maid services. Please know the cost for our maids are $6 per hour.
