Playa Arco

The beach is located between the towns of Uvita and Ojochal in the south area of Costa Rica, in Puntarenas provice. Really near to Playa Ballena Airport. Also close to Dominical Beach and Nauyaca Waterfalls, just 30 minutes drive and you'll be there. From Manuel Antonio National Park it's about 1 hour and 30 minutes drive.
Playa Arco is not a pretty common place so very few people go, it's a good spot to be relaxed and peaceful. To access the beach you will have to hike like 5 or 10 minutes.
