Cahuita

This laid-back Caribbean coastal village captivates visitors with its pristine beaches, vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture, and reggae rhythms that fill the air. The adjacent Cahuita National Park protects some of Costa Rica's most accessible coral reefs and coastal rainforest, where sloths hang from beachside trees and colorful birds dart through the canopy. Local sodas serve traditional rice and beans with coconut milk while the golden sand beaches stretch endlessly under swaying palm trees.
