Costa Rican Beaches - Modern Wonders
Beaches in Costa Rica are one of the most important assets of
the country when it comes to tourism.
Costa Rica has since many years worked hard to save the rain
forest and has during recent years begun to do the same with
their beaches.
The west coast of Costa Rica with beaches like Jaco, Quepos,
Manual Antonio, Puntarenas, Playa Conchal, Playas de Coco, Playa
Hermosa, Playa Tamarindo and many other, is a complete tourist,
sportsfishing and surfers heaven.
You can literally walk from one beach to the next in a lot of
places, and it is still possible to find small sand beaches with
cocos palms where you can be all alone or have a nice time with
someone.
Something to consider when visiting the Costa Rican beaches is
the increasing interest of keeping the beach clean and inviting.
Waste baskets can often be found on the beach or close by, and
regular test of not only drinking water but also the sea water
have begun on many of the most visited beaches.
The tourism has not only brought with it good things. Real
Estate has become really big, especially at the beach. Land
prices as well as constructions are being sold for fantasy sums
every day and new condominiums, beach houses and hotels just pop
up out of nowhere to still the need for more places to host
visiting tourists.
