Playas Penca & Prieta Homes for Sale
This page combines every home, condo and villa for sale at both Playa Penca and Playa Prieta, so you can compare the two beaches side by side. These neighboring beaches sit just past Potrero on Guanacaste's Pacific coast, about ten minutes from the Flamingo Marina.
Most listings are in small hillside communities such as Villa Catalinas and Casa del Sol, which offer ocean views, pools and walking paths down to both beaches. You'll also see boutique villas and stand-alone homes. Use Refine Search and Sort to narrow by price, bedrooms or property type.

Buying Property at Playas Penca & Prieta
Looking at both beaches together widens your options. Some buyers lean toward the longer, open sweep of Penca; others prefer Prieta's trees and shade. Either way, the two are close enough that owners on this stretch tend to use both, along with Playa Danta about fifteen minutes away.
This stretch suits retirees, families and second-home owners who want walkability and privacy in the same place. Ask how each community handles pools, upkeep and shared paths, and confirm the property is titled. Foreign buyers hold the same rights as Costa Rican citizens for titled property.
