Central Pacific Beaches
Filled To The Brim
Reports from the beaches have come in and
they all have one thing in common, all the
beaches are reported crowded. One report
described the "puerto" (Puntarenas) as an "hormiguero"
(anthill), as people packed every square
centimetre of the beach.
Othee Central Pacific popular beaches likes
Manuel Antonio and Jacó were basically the
same.
In Manuel Antonio the likes to get to the
beach were up to a kilometre long and
absolutely every parking space in the lots
and the street filled with cars. Some
reported that they gave up on finding a
space and decided to seek out nearby
beaches.
Semana Santa, especially Thursday to
Saturday, is beach time in Costa Rica.
Just about everyone heads out to the closest
beaches - Puntarenas and Jacó - and now with
the new highway, Quepos/Manuel Antonio is
only two hours away instead of the 3 plus
hours in the past.
Most come prepared with tents, awnings, bbq,
outdoor stoves, ice coolers, chairs and
anything that can be crammed into the family
vehicle and used on the beach and parks.
And due to the new San José - Caldera, many
this year decided to make a day trip, adding
to the already congested beaches.
The Guanacaste, the Southern Zone and Limón
beaches were also busy, but nothing like the
Central Pacific. |
