Playa Blanca is a beach of white sand and turquoise water located south of Puerto Viejo in the Caldera area. It is part of a zone of beautiful beaches that also includes Playa Ágata and Playa La Virgen. The beach is characterized by very little wave action, making for a calm surface. It is surrounded by cliffs that have been eroded by the sea. The beach is accessible by vehicle via a route from Bahía Inglesa; follow route C-360 to kilometer 5 and then take route C-302 toward Puerto Viejo. Nearby beaches like Las Machas and Playa Blanca itself are noted for having perfect waves for surfers of all levels. The area south of Playa Blanca contains Caleta Barranquilla. The broader coastal landscape includes the Sal Pyramid formation, a set of hills inland from Playa Las Salinas between Morro Copiapó and Puerto Viejo.
