Beach Vacation: Sanctuary for Endangered Species

Today we would like to let you know that the Central Pacific has many important national and protected areas. These amazing green zones provide sanctuary for many endangered species. We are talking about Carara National Park and Manuel Antonio National Park, are readily accessible natural laboratories that nature lovers will enjoy immensely. As a matter of fact, Carara National Park borders the Tarcoles River where you might have stopped on your way to Jaco Beach for your Beach Vacation.

Beach Vacation

 

When you just past Carara, there is a road leading up to the mountain on the left if you are looking for rich forest and past breathtaking views. Along the way you’ll see several expansive vistas and are likely to spot scarlet macaws, toucans, and monkeys.

Back to the road there it is Herradura Beach. A small, quiet, protected cove with comfortable infrastructure special for a good Beach Vacation. Sport fishing charters, visits to Tortuga Island, and romantic sunset tours round out a full fare of water-related activities including snorkeling, wind surfing, and water skiing.

Jaco Beach is where we (“Ticos“) traditionally come to play in the sun since there’s plenty of infrastructure, shopping, nightlife and accommodations to provide anything one might want in a Beach Vacation.

The road follows the coast out of Jaco providing spectacular scenery along the beaches and at the top of the hill is a great spot for a final look back on Jaco. It is a perfect view looking down on the long expanse of Playa Hermosa where there are many uncrowded beaches along with names like Palma, Bejuco and Esterillos.
