A long beach of bigger waves, a short drive south of Jacó. A strong open beach for anyone who wants the swell.
The Caribbean port, with a working waterfront. Beaches and Tortuguero are the good trips that start just outside town.
The town in front of the whale-tail beach. You walk the sandbar only at low tide.
Cloud forest you can walk into: tall trees, vines, moss, and mist. A rich walk, and the reason to come.

The gulf town on the Osa, and the road toward Corcovado. A warm base for the forest, the boats, and the park.
Rocky points and sandy coves just south of Tamarindo. Surf on the rocks, and coves made for a swim.
A high valley on the road south, for quetzals and crisp night air. A quiet, fine place to sleep above the coast.
The long beach north of Tamarindo, where leatherbacks nest. Wide, peaceful sand across the estuary from town.
