In Costa
Rica, many who have the days surrounding Christmas & the New Year off from
work or are on vacations have one thing on their minds… Playa (Beach)!!!
December
& January are not only high season from foreign traveler’s when it comes to
the Ticos they also enjoy a fair share of surf, sand & sun!
These
are the days of seeing cars filled with coolers, lawn chairs, tents & even
BBQ’s heading out of San Jose and on the pacific coasts.
Customary
to most Costarrican families with going as a group, it may be a group of neighbours,
family or co-workers but an escape to the beach is a must on everyone’s agenda!
And why
not?
The Pacific
hosts some amazing beaches to visit whether it be the closest to the capital
city of San Jose like Puntarenas or Jaco or even farther south such as Uvita,
Hermosa all are worth the drive when you can stretch out in the sand and enjoy
the sound of the ocean.
The
Caribbean also has come excellent options, the crystal blue waters of Punta
Uva, the amazing coral reefs off of Manzanillo or the surf in Cahuita there is
something for everyone looking to escape the city and catch some R&R!
Puntarenas is commonly associated with the escapes to the beach, with many lodging opportunities, day tours and an array of restaurants & sodas to choose from there is something for everyone.
Most
locals will agree if you are going to escape to Puntarenas you cannot miss such
stops as the Paseo de las Turistas & getting your own “Churchill” on the
street.
The
Churchill is an delicious sweet ice cream treat made with vanilla ice cream,
powdered milk, condensed milk and strawberry syrop.
December
& January are months of perfecto beach weather, with clear skies, calm
ocean water and plenty of sun!
For
those with beach plans this 2013 & 2014 remember to ensure you take care of
your skin also, with plenty of sun block and a hat is preferred!
Drink
plenty of water while out walking, hiking or just reading a book!
