Puerto Viejo

Gorgeous Tropical Beaches

The Puerto Viejo beaches are some of the best in Costa Rica. With a much more tropical influence, you can find miles of deserted palm tree and tropical fauna lined beaches in which to spend hours strolling or reading peacefully. Or, sit under the shade of a palm tree and be entertained by the local “scene” at the more populated hangouts. You will also find lovely calm coves that form small protected pools – perfect for children or lazy afternoons.
