While many towns along Puntarena’s central Pacific coast can boast big waves that attract thousands of surfers, the lure of Puerto Quepos is big fish. Sport fishing is the magnet that draws anglers from around the world. When visitors are not offshore in search of big game, they have dozens of other enjoyable activities to try. Located at the edge of the rainforest and near nature preserves and beautiful beaches, a vacation rental in Quepos is the ideal place to serve as a base for exploring Costa Rica’s riches.
Part of Quepo’s appeal is its village center, where just about everything is available. From gift shops selling all sorts of souvenirs to galleries full of one-of-a-kind creations, the bird sculptures crafted of Cocobolo wood are quite striking and popular purchases. The restaurants and bars are great places to relax after a day of fishing or sightseeing.
Anglers can stay close to the coast and try to snag some roosterfish, dorado and snook. Or, they can hop on a charter boat and go after the big boys of the deep - marlin, tuna and sailfish.
Visitors who want to get close to wildlife have many options. There is a sailboat cruise that provides excellent views of areas where dolphins, sea turtles and even whales are known to roam. Horseback, jet ski, bike and kayak tours cover lots of rainforest and coastal territory.
A great location that showcases the best of biodiversity, Quepos offers vacation rental villas and homes that are affordably priced and well-appointed.
