Costa Rican Coast, Beaches, and Coastal Wildlife – New Zones to Live and Retire

One of the safest countries in Central America is also the nation that has exploited, protected, and shown off its vast natural beauty. Costa Rica is well-known amongst tourists for its sun, beaches, adventure, nature, and culture. But now, people from abroad are discovering the many advantages of living full-time in this beautiful paradise.

In a world where it´s necessary to raise awareness about eco-tourism and conserving the planet, Costa Rica is the benchmark in management and dedication of natural areas. About 20% of the country is made up of reserves and national parks. Costa Rica also offers tourists and residents charming cultural traditions and rich history. It’s perfect for those who want a home in Eden!

Tortuguero National Park

Virtually untouched, and rife with impressive wildlife and canals that can be traveled by paddleboat, Tortuguero National Park, and the rest of Costa Rica is home to four species of monkeys. Capuchins, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and squirrel monkeys, make their home in Tortuguero.

Speaking of Wildlife in Costa Rica

One of the most impressive natural spectacles in Tortuguero and other national parks is the turtles. Out of the seven species of sea turtles in the world, six of them lay their eggs on Costa Rica’s protected beaches. Leatherback, Olive Ridley, Hawksbill, and Loggerhead turtles are some of them.

Costa Rica is also home to other rare wildlife species, such as the raccoon-like Quincajú, the anteater, three-toed sloths, armadillos, green iguanas, and jaguars, among many others.

Costa Rica and its Dream Beaches

You don’t have to be a beach lover to fall in love with Costa Rica —  but considering the country has almost 300 coastal beaches, it certainly helps! The beaches of the southern zone, such as Dominical, Uvita, and Whale Bay, are all located in the town of Perez Zeledon, which also has superb properties for sale.

Among its main beaches, the following stand out:

Samara Beach. One of the most beautiful beaches on Costa Rica’s Pacific Ocean shores. It´s located in the province of Guanacaste.

Puerto Viejo Beach. This beach is one of the best-kept secrets of the Costa Rican Caribbean. It boasts lovely volcanic sand, plenty of exciting waves for surfers, and crystal-clear waters with little swell for those who prefer a quiet day at the beach.

Montezuma Beach. This beautiful beach on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast has everything! Surfing, marine exploration with snorkeling, and delicious food, are just a few of its many attractions.

These Costa Rican beaches have beautiful white sand, an abundance of plant and animal species, and calm waters, making them the perfect beaches to enjoy with family and friends.

Can I live in this paradise?
