The beaches in Cahuita offer a variety of diversions. There is a stony beach that does not really invite you to go swimming, but during a nice little stroll around, you can discover many interesting things. The silver-black beach – about 14 kilometers long – is amazingly beautiful and swimming there is just great fun! Besides that, this beach is only 3 minutes away from our resort. The white beach is about one kilometer away and you can find it right at the entrance of the “Cahuita National Park”. This beach honors the Caribbean! The coral reef in front is simply a paradise for snorkeling fans and scuba divers.
The little village of Cahuita had quite a bad reputation some years ago. But today, the undesirable activities moved elsewhere and now Cahuita is a sleepy, cozy place with a true Caribbean feeling. A colorful blend of Costa Rica and Jamaica, it typifies the easygoing mood of both countries. In the village you’ll find souvenir shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Anyone looking for parties and loud entertainment is not really in the right village, but those who want to relax and seek out a little rest couldn’t find a better place to be.
The “Cahuita National Park” – with a size of 1,068 hectares (4,322 acres) and a marine area of 22,400 hectares (9,000 acres) – was founded in 1970 and is the second oldest national park in Costa Rica. The dreamily agreeable walk through the park is about 7 kilometers long and you need about 2 hours from the entrance to Puerto Vargas. From there you can take the bus back to Cahuita, if you like. The walk in the park is quite an easy one, with no problematic stretches. Even though it mostly hugs the coastline, the path takes you through the forest, so it’s shady and cool. On the white beaches alongside you’ll find all kinds of hidden places waiting to be discovered. There are monkeys (capuchins and howlers), sloths, many colorful birds, butterflies, iguanas, crabs and many more animals to see. Also the vegetation offers a variety of changes and delights the eye with a range of beautiful flowers and impressively tall jungle trees.
