Driving of motor vehicles is prohibited on the beach (according to law of traffic #7331). Hunting or the abuse or pursuit of wild animals such as garrobos, iguanas, birds, as well as fishing with poison is also prohibited. Bonfires are also restricted as much of the firewood is home to many creatures.

Appropriately named, Playa Hermosa (beautiful beach) is miles and miles of fine sand. The blue- gray colors of the ocean mix in such a way that is always spectacular to look at!  Located between Playa Uvita and Dominicalito, it is a good place to take the family, since the waves there are not strong and there are not many currents. You can play in the gentle waves and then rinse off the salt water in the fresh water pools formed by rivers at either end of the beach. Playa Hermosa is clean; with plenty of palm trees, where you can hang your hammock and relax or read a good book. Also, if you enjoy fishing, you can fish off shore or in the river, and is visited by many fishermen. Because it lacks basic services and tourist infrastructure for the time being (2005), Playa Hermosa is one of the most tranquil in the area.
