The North Pacific Region
The North Pacific Coast is perhaps one of Costa Rica's most visited areas where sun, beaches and surf are the major "active" ingredients.
The climate is typically hot and dry compared to the rest of of the country. Many of the forest in these areas - like the wildlife refuge of Santa Rosa National Park - are Tropical Dry Forests.
The beaches in the North Pacific Coast are, arguably, some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. They are large, unspoiled, always sunny and most of them just a short walk from one another, you can always find a spot all for yourself away from the crowd. You might come across some luxury resorts on you way but you will also be delighted by some "pura vida" villages waiting to be discovered.
If you get tired of sunbathing (you bet) you will find an endless choice of activities. These beaches are also very popular for water sports being surf the number one activity thanks to its countless surf breakes.
Don't forget your screen lotion, and your sun hat.no kidding! Guanacaste and Puntarenas
