Punta Islita is a resort town in the Nandayure Canton, Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. The Punta Islita Airport is located in the nearby town of Corozalito.[1]

The village has houses and murals with Naive paintings and mosaics. The town is framed by cliffs, creating a halfmoon bay.[1] It is named after the small area of land that becomes an island at high tide. [2]

In December 2017, ten American tourists and two pilots were killed in a plane crash in Punta Islita.[3]
