We spent our last day in Costa Rica in Quepos on the Pacific coast. I wanted to experience a different milieu than the mountains we had been in. We figured a single day was enough since neither of us were beach people. We did plan on dipping our toes in the Pacific, however. That plan was dashed when we walked over to the city ocean front park. As far as we could see, the bank was lined with these huge boulders as a break wall. When I was younger I would have clambered over them down to the water, but now I wouldn’t. Neither would Ken. Here is the beach within 15 min of low tide (I checked later). The surfer waded through the waist deep channel and is climbing the rocks in the right picture.
The following morning we went out again for more pictures. This is 1 hr 44 min after high tide.
This is the street seen standing on the park embankment. The Hotel Sirena (our hotel) is the blue “S” near the center.
The original reason I had chosen Quepos was that it was near Manuel Antonio National Park. There are also some famous beaches there. But we chose not to drive over and instead walked around town a bit and generally relaxed. Good enough for me.
