Costa Rica,
Pacific Coast
Pacific Coast: -
Puntarenas: is Costa Rica's principal Pacific port for freight and the beaches around it are rather poor, although San Lucas Island, just off the port, has magnificent beaches. Another island worth a visit is Isla Del Coco where a great hoard of treasure is supposed to have been buried by pirates. Puerto Caldera, a few miles south of Puntarenas, has recently become the country's premier port of call for cruise liners. Quepos, Nicoya, Liberia and Samara are the region's other major towns. There are beautiful beaches in the Guanacaste area, near Quepos in the Central Pacific and near Golfito in the South.
