With two oceans bordering Costa Rica, you would naturally find some amazing water sports here. Beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts have world-renowned surfing spots. Pavonnes near the small surfing town of Dominical is the most popular beach on the Central Pacific coast. Nosara and Tamarindo in the North Pacific are also extremely popular surfing destinations. Excellent reef and beach breaks make for great waves year round. For the more relaxed traveler, find yourself a beautiful vacation house on the beach and sit back and watch the surfers in action.

Scuba diving is also popular in Costa Rica. A snorkeling excursion is often part of another adventure tour and gives you a glimpse of the wide variety of marine life just below the surface of the water.

There are few places in the world where you can take a whitewater rafting excursion through the deep gorges of the rainforest. This exciting adventure is available for every skill level. Beginners will enjoy a more relaxed whitewater run, while experienced rafters can take on the Class III and IV rapids for a thrilling ride.

To take full advantage of the incredible Pacific and Caribbean beaches, book a Costa Rica beach house for a week (or a month!) and kick back for some serious R&R. Even the style of beaches in Costa Rica have a lot of variety. There are white sandy beaches as well as volcanic black sand.

Regardless of your Costa Rica vacation destination, you will not lack for opportunities to relax and enjoy the laid-back tropical life, or fulfill your dreams of great adventure in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
