    Caribbean Coast

    About Caribbean Coast

    Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast has a vibe all its own—lush jungle, wild beaches, reggae beats, and food that packs a punch. We’ve snorkeled in Cahuita, cruised the canals in Tortuguero, and soaked up the laid-back energy in Puerto Viejo (where shoes are totally optional). It’s less polished than the Pacific—but that’s exactly why we love it!

    Check out our guides below for the best things to do and how to plan your adventure on Costa Rica’s Caribbean side.
