Caribbean Beaches & Surf Region
Warm sea breezes, misty mountains, crashing surf and living coral reefs are just part of the southern Caribbean’s tropical allure. Tucked between the Talamanca Mountain Range and the warm, Caribbean Sea, the Caribbean Beaches and Surf Region encompasses Costa Rica’s entire southeastern coast, from the city of Limon south to the Panamanian border. Here, local communities make peace with nature refuges, national parks and indigenous reserves – living together, they protect the land and local history, creating a unique region that honors its people, plants and animals.
