Limón Port is the gateway to Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, and from here a completely different Costa Rica opens up than what Pacific-side tourists usually experience.

In Cahuita you'll find crystal-clear water and one of the country's finest coral reefs right on the beach.
Continue further south along the coast and you'll reach Puerto Viejo de Talamanca within just over an hour, a lively surfer's paradise with reggae culture and fantastic food. The Caribbean side has a warm, humid climate year-round, but February to April and September to October typically see the least rain.
