Costa Rica Guides

An active crater in the park above Alajuela, worth the drive on a clear morning.

A surf town on a dirt road, easy for a first lesson. The beach at the end of the drive is the reward.

A river town in the green northern lowlands. The river is the pleasure: forest, water, and an easy morning afloat.

The long beach north of Tamarindo, where leatherbacks nest. Wide, peaceful sand across the estuary from town.

A calm Nicoya bay for the ferry, a swim, and boats to Tortuga.

A long beach of bigger waves, a short drive south of Jacó. A strong open beach for anyone who wants the swell.

The beach is crushed shell, and the golf course sits on the hill above it.

A calm bay near Playas del Coco, half an hour from Liberia. The point holds a gentle, easy swim.
