Pacific Coast Travel Tips

Pacific Coast

Manuel Antonio, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the largest draw to Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast. However, the area is also home to uncut gems like the small coastal villages of Dominical and Uvita, breathtaking palm tree plantations, and several sites with pre-Columbian granite spheres.

The main activities of the Pacific Coast include sunbathing, sportfishing, snorkeling, and surfing, which are available in almost every town.
