Very relaxed little town! Lots of artisan selling crafts and stuff! 3-4 days was enough for us! We would return for sure.

We spent three days here and it was the perfect amount of time, not sure I'd spend more unless you're just looking to relax on the beach.

My favorite oceanfront town in Costa Rica. Just a great vibe. Multiple beaches. Plenty of activities. And lots of wildlife.

This area is very different from the south or west coast. The drive through the jingle is so spectacular. Dont bother to stop in Limon - yuck! Traffic to and from San Jose is atrocious. Very dangeroys but worth the drive.
