Small regional airport serving Guanacaste's Santa Cruz district.

Location
Santa Cruz, Costa Rica
Santa Cruz Airport (ICAO: MRSC) is a small general aviation and regional airstrip located in Santa Cruz, a town in the Guanacaste province of northwestern Costa Rica. It serves primarily light aircraft, charter flights, and occasional regional operations connecting the area to other domestic destinations. The airport supports the agricultural and tourist economy of the Santa Cruz region, which is known for cattle ranching, traditional Guanacastecan culture, and proximity to beach destinations on the Nicoya Peninsula.
