After getting off the boat from Tortuguero we jumped in Wesley and made our way over to the East coast and South to Puerto Viejo. We pulled into Puerto Viejo pretty late at night and found a great little place to camp on the beach next to a hostel. That night we went out for pizza and some amazing fruit shakes before tucking in for the night.

The next day we got up early and did a little shopping in town. We had a few presents to pick up and had a nice time exploring the roadside stands. After Devin did a little work we headed to the beach for some swimming and sun. The beach was beautiful with clear water and many palm trees dotting the beach. Following the bright sunshine we took a little walk down the beach to Rocking J's. Rocking J’s is an intriguing hostel that has mosaics everywhere and was definitely designed with an artist eye. Devin and I taught Bev Mexican

by Randy Berg - Land on the Beach in Costa Rica is in demand and real estate sales in these areas have increased enormously. Central America can boast of the beaches of Costa Rica as this is one of the greatest treasures of this country. Visitors who come to Costa Rica end up buying properties here and even settle down in this beautiful picturesque nation. Most would love to own one of the properties on these exquisite beaches and this is what has created a great demand for beach properties.

Costa Rica has one of the most wonderful coast lines and this is also the biggest treasure of this nation. The dual coastlines run alongside the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This does offer a lot of land on the beach in Costa Rica. However, looking at the cost factor it is only for those who can afford the price.
I dunno who wrote the two reviews above, but I'm gonna differ strongly. We stayed in Cahuita and Punta Uva (south of Puerto Viejo about 15 minutes) in January and found an array of very pretty quite clean beaches. No hassling vendors....the occasional dog (I never saw the "packs of stray dogs". Dark sand north of PV, pale sand farther south and up around Cahuita. the only place I saw much of any trash on the beach is north of Cahuita where driftwood has washed up in piles, but the beach itself was lovely, dark sand, we were there on a sunday "family" day and it was packed with kids, then on monday it was almost abandoned. We only got in the water in cahuita, Punta Uva, Manzanillo and playa chocles and found them all to be easy in and out and not a lot of pulling current. The surf beaches are certainly not for snorkeling or water play but the beaches are still nice.

It was wonderful to sleep in a clean, air conditioned room last night. And it was even better to have a nice, hot shower this morning! After a quick breakfast at the hotel, I headed to the beach. I walked along the beach and had fun taking pictures. I also sat on the beach and read on my Kindle. It was so nice and relaxing! The weather was a little cloudy but, later in the morning, the sun was shining enough to give me a bit of ...

We started construction only two weeks ago on the kitchen and office - which are being topped off this week- an incredible speed for a caribbean beach town. We drove to the port city of Puerto Limon friday to get some tiles at El Mundo de la Ceramica (world of tiles) and found the tile for the kitchen and bathrooms. They had every tacky tile you have ever seen in the world and of course with the perfect boarder to boot! Yes, here is where you find what will not sell anywhere else. Well after the salesman showed us the "BEST" we wondered through every stack and pile and found some pretty interesting stuff, for the floors some large tiles that look like concrete and the kitchen walls a off white with satin finish and for the bathroom walls a tile that kinda looks like bamboo streaks in a very light off green tint, it all came together pretty nice and we all felt the satisfying feeling of
A party on the beach in the early hours of Wednesday morning ended in one man dead.
Deciding to get the last word in an argument which had been ongoing, a man identified by last name Mitchel went home for a firearm and shot his rival.

The victim is 20 year old Carlos Navarro, known locally as Rulos. He was shot six times at close range, twice in the head, twice in the chest and twice in the arms. The authorities arrested Mitchell several hours later.
At the end of the line on the Caribbean Coast lies a beautiful, barely touched beach. Just twenty minutes from Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo is part of a National Park system with great snorkeling and lovely beaches.
