Hi there,
My family and I just booked a trip for a February getaway in Costa Rica. I'm wondering if anyone has done any open water swimming on the Southern Caribbean cost, near Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. We are staying in a town called Colces (?) about two miles from there and I am hoping to swim every day.
I know there are many rip-tide warnings in that area and am wondering if anyone had any favorite swimming spots in that area?
At this point, and being a retailer heading into Christmastime, I'm just happy to have the idea in my head of gorgeous water, the prospect of snorkeling with my little one, and waking in the jungle to see monkeys in the trees overhead. Yippee!
I just looked it up and it's nowhere near where we are going. The area we're visiting is well know for surfing, snorkeling, and diving. The biggest issue seems to be rip-tides, but I think otherwise, it looks somewhat comparable to the water conditions we had when we were in Belize two years ago.
I am hoping someone might be able to recommend a favorite beach or two.
