A fit for those craving the beach with sunshine flooding over their shoulders :)
On the Central Pacific Coast may be a little cooler, and Quepos, Esterillos Oeste, love the charming towns with a vibe.
We all flock worldwide for history and enjoy being a piece of that, walking on grounds that carry so many secrets and ambitions. It is still near significant hospitals and fun amenities.
Near San Jose is Escazu, Santa Ana, a growing expat community near Downtown and the major hospitals.
I will say the one and only time that I caught a 350-pound Black Marlin was definitely in Costa Rica! No, I could not reel that pounding black baby in all by myself. It was a team effort, yet it was my hook and my final squeal of the reel! Watching schools of dolphins, smaller than we have in Florida, yet they are by the hundreds; for Diving and Fishing enthusiasts, the fish are so perfect in the clear waters; catching Mahi Mahi, they bit off chunks to eat fresh, though I did not stomach the warm fish and sinew still moving and promptly gave it back to the ocean. Diving and snorkeling off the white-sandy beaches and in the country's national parks and wildlife preserves is a treasure not to be missed!!
Soccer, or football as it's known internationally, is not just a sport in Costa Rica; it's a national pastime. With teams spread across the country and the thrilling Costa Rica Cup, you'll feel the pulse of the local culture and the passion for the game.

Of course, Costa Rica is well-known for hiking the scenic inland forests with its cooling temperatures and so many diverse trails, from volcano hikes like Arenal with stunning views to rainforest hikes in Monteverde Cloud Forest with lush canopy and wildlife. The rainy season runs from about May to November for the lowlands and coastal area and December to April in the central valley, with the highland's cooler temperature and rainfall more frequently contributing to the lushness of the forests
As we enjoy such a diversity of sports, medical care is essential to keep us young. Costa Rican health care is well-known for its quality and affordability, with public and private options available to expats.
*Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS) covers citizens, legal residents, and expats with residency status. All residents must make monthly payments based on their income.
