The northern province of Limón (Spanish for “lemon”) covers the entire country of Costa Rica from its border with Nicaragua to the north to its border with Panama to the south. It also shares 125 miles of coastline with the Caribbean Sea and as a result draws tourists from around the world who want to go turtle or dolphin watching, indulge in sport fishing, or just go for peaceful walks along the beach. Tourists go inland too, of course, to ride ziplines over and through the rainforest, for example, or to visit pineapple or banana plantations. Luxury real estate in Caribbean Costa Rica are available in both the small and large towns and cities that dot the province, but in particular on the coast where folks like to be able to see the view of sparkling blue waters of the sea.
Cahuita is a charming seaside city located several miles down the coast from the much larger Puerto Limón (capital of the province). Caribbean luxury is easy to find in this friendly and prosperous city, home of Cahuita National Park and quite close to Manzanillo and the Gandoca-Manzanillo Refuge. Expatriates have much to choose from in this city – albeit long known as a “hippie hangout” or the nearby and surging city of Puerto Viejo de Telamanca. Just off Cahuita are reefs that are perfect for snorkeling, although it’s typically best to engage a guide because most of this coast of Costa Rica has a dangerous undertow. Cahuita has a friendly Afro-Caribbean population.
