Costa Rica Directory: Central & South Pacific

The small village of Uvita is a loose straggle of houses and farms, an example of how Costa Rica beach towns looked like in the old days before the arrival of the tourist boom that changed most of the country’s coast.
The village main attractions are: miles of secluded beaches, hiking along coastal mountain ridge or the visit to the Ballena Marine National Park.

Small local tour operators offer whale and dolphin tours, sporfishing and Ocean tours to Caño Island and Corcovado National Park.

At low tide you can walk out along Punta Uvita, ask the locals for the best time of the day so that you don’t get cut off by the tides.
