Playa Naranjo
Playa Naranjo is the remote Santa Rosa beach corridor that contains Witch's Rock but also stretches beyond the named peak. The setting is the story here: protected national-park coast, Papagayo wind, long sandbar walls, and a boat-or-4x4 approach that makes the whole beach feel like a surf mission.

Lineup Guide
Tide is less locked than at the named rock peak; boat access from Playas del Coco/Papagayo is common, while the Santa Rosa road means a dry-season 4x4 approach, water, timing, and a backup plan.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
