Words really can't explain how amazing it is here in Costa Rica. The beaches go as far as the eye can see and there is no one in sight at many of them. It feels as if we are on a stranded Island and the beach is all ours. The surf is amazing, the waves seem to be between 6 and 10 foot high depending on where you are at so I can't wait for my hand made surf board to get finished and start surfing again. Although I am not going to lie, it has been nearly a decade since the last time I went surfing so I am sure it will take some time to get back into the swing of things.
The beaches here in Uvita, Costa Rica are just stunning. We have been going to a different beach everyday since we got here and we just can't get enough of them. They each have their own unique qualities but my favorite part is they are warmer than any other place I have ever been to! They are literally like bath water for the first 2 or 3 feet, it does cool the further you get in, but it is never ever cold.
The first beach we went to was the famous whales tail beach, which is a huge tourist attraction for Uvita, however we didn't know we had to go at low tide to see it and of course we went at high tide because that is our luck. LoL. Oh well, that just gives us an excuse to go back another day. It was still absolutely beautiful and since it was high tide not many other people were there, so we basically got the beach to ourselves!
We went to another beach the next day but it really doesn't have a name. In fact the road to get to the beach doesn't even have a name, LoL. That beach was even more empty than whale tail beach. We drove a few miles on gravel and then dirt roads to get there, but it was well worth the drive. (Picture below) We were lucky enough to find a few sand dollars on this beach, but accidently broke them on the way home :/
The days get pretty hot, it has been in the high 80s or low 90s everyday since we have arrived with the humidity around 60% so it can get a bit uncomfortable during peak hours since we aren't quite acclimated yet. But with the breeze from the ocean and if we stay in the shade during the peak hours of the day it is tolerable. Nights here aren't terrible, we don't have a/c but if we keep fans on and the windows open its not to bad. Last night it got down to 70 but the humidity is still quite high.
The beaches go as far as the eye can see in either direction, and we had it all to ourselves. It was literally a day in paradise!
PURA VITA
