Best bets for warm June weather activities in Costa Rica
Golf, tennis, fishing, bird watching, scuba diving… The list of fun things to do in Costa Rica is never-ending. From the mundane - reading and relaxing on the beach - to the exotic - exploring a volcano - the possibilities for recreation are unlimited. Puntarenas and Guanacaste are the ideal home base for visitors. They are on the beautiful Pacific coast and offer a variety of beaches that are great for those who want to just kick back with a book and those who want the adrenaline rush of skipping over the swells on a wave runner. The proximity to everything from tropical rainforests to wide areas of expansive flatlands that are great for 4-wheel drive excursions and long rides on a bike or on the back of a horse is just one reason why. Charter boats cater to every visitor’s wishes. Many take anglers out to where the marlin and billfish are biting. Some stay closer to shore and offer close-up, eco-friendly encounters with sea turtles and dolphins. And some weave through the marshlands and mangrove swamps, where wading birds and an assortment of colorful creatures spend their day. Toucans, howler monkeys, macaws and exquisite floral displays are the big draw in the dense forest. All sorts of day tours designed with particular interests in mind make the short trek rich and rewarding. Just taking photos of an fraction of the 1,300+ known orchids that are native to Costa Rica would more than fill a scrapbook.Vacation Planning Tips:
It might not rain every day in May, but it’s good to be prepared. Pack a plastic raincoat or poncho and shoes that can withstand some puddles. At the Pacific shore, the heat is still on, and sunscreen and sunglasses should be part of the gear carried in a beach bag. Anyone who will be doing diving, rafting or just hanging out under a waterfall and wanting to take photos should have a waterproof camera. And if you expect to be in Costa Rica on its Labor Day, make sure you have what you’ll need - food, medicines, personal products, etc. - before that holiday since most businesses will be closed.
