I am heading to the pacific side of Costa Rica for a vacation, anyone been there? I will be doing some surfing and turtle watching and any other eco things that are available.

Anyone have any info on travelling there? Safety, crime, girls, transportation etc? I am travelling thru Liberia and then down to the coast

Thanks!
 
good place

hit tamarindo... sleepy little surf town just down the coast.
awesome beaches, relaxed atmosphere, i’m not sure about SP scene...

Gavin.
 
The only SP place on the coast that I am aware of is called the Beetle Bar in Jaco Beach. I have never been there but I did some research as I plan to go to CR next year. Most of the SP action is in San Jose - plenty of choices there.
 
just remember when you are there... turtles are good eating

now you got me craving some stewed sea turtle
 
Jaco is good at night, but a ghost town chica-wise during the day. If you want to set something up for during the day, you'll need to arrange it beforehand. The best place in Jaco is the Beatle Bar, which has apparently just been remodeled. You may want to make sure that your hotel is chica-friendly (some aren't) before you go.

You didn't really say if you're going by yourself or what, but it's always better (ie safer) if you're with a wingman, although I did Jaco solo last year. Be prepared, it's fucking hot there! Generally, it's safe, but avoid the side streets of Jaco like the plague & stick to the main street. As for transportation, it's cheap if you go to any of the tour offices on the main drag in Jaco.

Make sure you see Manuel Antonio park, it's beautiful. Check out the 12 foot crocs on the river Tarcoles too...that was a great tour!

If you want any more info, you can pm me. I'll be in San Jose on Friday, can't wait!

I think he'll have more chance coming across raw turle eggs as bocas at a Tico bar than the meat dish. Yes, that's totally un eco friendly ...

Where exactly you plan to hit along the coast and how long you plan to stay in CR ?

Tamarindo is nice but in recent months the ocean pollution there along that coast is very bad due to untreated sewer lines from the local communities, so ... heads up.

My fav beaches in Guanacaste is Carillo and samara, less touristsy ,but not exactly hot spots for surfing though . Montezuma might be more your thing.
 
Oh, I was thinking about doing some surfing, someone pointed me in the direction of Nosara and hooked me up with a link to some really cheap lodging.

Probably will go for most of Dec. chill, surf, go on some jungle tours and stuff. How hot is it there at this time of the year and what about water temp? Will I need a wetsuit?

Chica action would be nice but I heard that there is a yoga school at the place I am staying so perhaps some nice bored white girls who are very flexible and looking for some sort of harmonic convergence with the universe will do instead.
 
Thanks for all the help guys! I will be thinking about terb while I am gone and will bring back stories of the ticas :)
