Costa Rica is one of the most visited countries in Central America, and for good reason! But, where in the country is the best to go?

The country’s West Coast is more developed, so it has more amenities and activities for you to take advantage of. It has access to the Pacific Ocean, where you can find many beach towns and optimal surfing conditions. This area is also closer to the international airports, so travelling to and from your flights is much easier!

The main areas of the West coast are:

Northern Guanacaste - Amazing beaches & close to airports! 

Nicoya Peninsula - Great for surfing & laidback beach towns
