A collection of small bars above Playa de Papagayo on Punta de Papagayo

Continue along the coast, either visiting the sandy beaches of Playa del Pozo and Playa Mujeres, or staying a little further inland to avoid them. Use sandy or stony paths, and either walk around headlands or short-cut behind them. The first building reached looks remarkably like a ship, then a steep, rocky descent leads to an easy promenade path beside the pebbly Playa de las Coloradas. The promenade ends where an old house has survived the relentless resort expansion. Pick up the promenade on the other side and pass the Gran Castillo. Next, there is access inland to a shopping centre and buses, where the walk could be finished early, saving 3km (2 miles).

The promenade runs along a cliff-top and passes the Castillo de las Coloradas, where there is a signpost. Go down steps towards an attractive marina development. Either hug the harbour-side or use paved paths a little further inland, but there is no need to walk on roads. Admire the architecture, water features and planted areas around the marina; there also are plenty of places offering refreshment. Eventually, pass the Hotel Playa Dorado and walk until a tiny sandy beach is reached at Playa Blanca. Turn right inland on the narrow Avenida Marítima to reach the town centre and a mapboard for the PR LZ 09 and GR 131.
