Limon Costa Rica
The famous east coast of Costa Rica with places like Cauhita,
Puerto Limon, Tortugeros and Barra del Colorado is a completely
different thing then the west coast.
You can fly here or take highway 32 from San José and enjoy the
amazing scenery while driving. You can drive through Brauilo
Carillo National Park and straight down to limón or go north and
pass by the Volcano Barva, followed by Puerto Viejo and
Sarapiqui.
The temperature stays around high 20s all year but due to rain
almost the whole year, the clouds will give some protection from
the burning sun.. The best time on the year (to avoid rain) is
in February to Mars, and August to October.
You'll find restaurants scattered all along the road if you feel
the urge for eating.
Limón is also the place where almost all of Costa Rica's bananas
are shipped when exported.
Crime has been found somewhat higher then on the west coast so
beware.
The Beaches ---------------- Four kilometers north of puerto
Limón are two small beaches. Playa Bonita with fine yellow sand,
palm trees and some hotels. The water is not perfect for
tourists though. Playa Portete has a dock where local fishermen
land with their catches. Even further north is Moín where the
government built a industrial harbor for freight ships back in
the 1980´s. Going south you'll find the most visited place, the
beach Cauhita.
Cauhita is a quite large village with many thousands of
inhabitants and is a hot target for backpacking tourists. It can
be hard to find a rental in Cauhita. White san beaches fringed
with coconut palms, a relaxing atmosphere and a calm Caribbean
way of life attract a lot of tourists.
There are also several smaller beaches close by Cauhita. Even
further south Talamanca is the place to go. Close by are Playa
Cocles, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva.
Sights of Limón ------------------ Cahuita National Park. Over
1000 hectares of land with more
then 14Km of beaches, all with
nice mixes of coconut palm trees, mangrives and dense
forrests,Snorkeling is offered all over the coast for those who
would like to try it out.
In the south the Gandoca-Manzanillo Game Preserve is of
interest. You can visit punta mona (Monkey Point), said to have
received its name from Columbus himself.
Also plan a visit to Tortugeros and a trip on the canals. You'll
most likely have to set aside 1-2 days for this trip as it is a
long way to go. Make sure you bring clothes to change (after
rain), insect repellant and clean drinking water and you'll have
a much nicer time!
Not only will you find an extreme jungle here, you may also be
lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle or two.
Parque Vargas in Puerto Limón with its tall attractive palms and
other tropical trees, flowers and animals close to the
waterfront is a pleasant way of enjoying the beauty of the
tropics.
Eating -------- The food on the east coast is everything from
local specialties, normal Costa Rican food, Caribbean food to
French and Chinese. Be aware of the fact that not all food is
compatible with all tourists!
Bars & Nightclubs ----------------------- Night open bars and
cantinas can always be found around the central parks in almost
all Costa Rican towns. Puerto Limón is no exception. But many of
these places in Limón should be avoided by tourists and single
women should not be out after dark themselves without company.
Limón with Cauhita is different from other beaches. The much
greener water on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica makes a nice
contrast to the bluish west coast water.
You'll often find larger waves on the east coast as well.
