Las Baulas National Marine Park

This National Park protects the main nesting beaches for the leatherback turtle of the Tropical Eastern Pacific. This place is also an important spot for migratory birds, the american crocodile and other wildlife. We are a Ramsar Site, of international importance.

Reviewed By danmL78TX - Hamilton, Canada

Located in Playa Grande, the "park" is really just a protected area where development has been severely limited (in a good way) to protect the nesting grounds of the leatherback turtles. This is our favourite beach area in Costa Rica (we've been about 20 times now). For over 2km you have great waves and almost no people. From Nov to March (or so) the leatherback turtles - living dinosaurs, really - come nest at night. The beach is closed to the public at night so as to not disturb the turtle nesting. You can go to the local park office to book your guided night tour. The park is also home to one of Central America's largest salt-water estuaries. You can do guided boat tours, or rent kayaks or canoes and see crocodiles, monkeys and a large variety of birds, all living in a beautiful mangrove filled estuary. Top it off with lunch at Taco Star and Dinner at nearby El Huerto, Ki-ke's (kee-kays) or Cafe Del Pueblo.
