The beach is a must.

the zipline canopy tour in monteverde

Volcan Arenal. Then go to Monteverde or tortugero. If you have the chance, dont miss to go to Isla Torguta

if you want a volcano then go to arenal. its really nice. for a beach then go to jaco or manuel antonio. you have to go ziplining or take a nature hike though, they are amazing. or you can rent a surfboard for a few dollars an hour.

The beach is a MUST. Volcanoes aren't that nice, but if you haven't seen one it's impressive. Monteverde is a must too if you like ecology. Rafting is really nice. Guanacaste offers some good hotels and beaches.

It is hard to go to Arenal and then head over to the pacific, especially with so little time in the country. I suggest if you are going to see the lava flows in Arenal make sure you are traveling in the dry season as cloud cover often obstructs the view. From here it is easy to get a shuttle to either coast. It will take about 4 hours and cost you about $45 to get to Nosara which is a really cool beach. http://www.anywherecostarica.com/nosara-costa-rica/travel.htm you can book your shuttle on this website too. Rincon de la Vieja is a cool volcano too. It is the most active in the Guanacaste Mountain Range. It provides a different experience than Arenal, but more authentic and natural. http://www.anywherecostarica.com/national-park/rincon-de-la-vieja.htm It will be closer to the beach from this volcano than it is from Arenal http://www.anywherecostarica.com/national-park/rincon-de-la-vieja.htm.
