Golfito

The southern port town of Golfito is often considered a gateway to other attractions, namely the big waves of Pavones to the south, and Piedras Blancas National Park to the north. Located across from the Osa Peninsula on the Sweet Gulf, the city receives an enormous amount of rain, and is backed by thick, beautiful forests. While the water here is a bit murky for swimming, sport fishing conditions could not be better – and many tour operators use the town as a base for excursions.
