Central Pacific Coast Real Estate
This region of the country is especially attractive to tourists in
search of beautiful beaches or adventurous river rafting trips.
The whole coast is made up of spectacular beaches, some isolated allowing
you to rest far from the bustle and daily activity of the city and others
full of life and recreational activities. They are located less than
2 hours from San Jose (the capital of the country), which will allow
you to arrive quickly so as not to lose one minute of the sea breeze
and the delicious Pacific sun.
You will find excellent beaches for surfing in the Central Pacific Region.
Boca Barranca, Tivives and Valor, Escondida, Jaco, Hermosa, Esterillos,
Bejuco, Boca Damas and the beaches that surround Puerto Caldera, offer
excellent conditions for those that want to run waves.
The Central Pacific Region offers top conditions for tourists: from
deluxe international hotels to comfortable bed and breakfasts and small
but welcoming lodges.
Puntarenas is the biggest city in the region. It is located on a narrow
piece of land that looks toward the Gulf of Nicoya. This was the most
important port in Costa Rica during most of the XIX century. The flat
dark sand beaches of Puntarenas extend up to 17 km and present suitable
conditions for such sports as artisan fishing, windsurfing and boogie
boarding.
Caldera is located on the low part of the coast. It is a visiting point
for several international cruise lines and port for ships that import
and export products to Central America and the world. Yellow fin tuna,
grains and other products are sent to foreigners, while the passengers
of the best cruise lines reach the mainland.
