The new Marina and other planned projects are certain to be a tremendous boost to Osa Peninsula real estate values in the region.

Water taxis provide regular transportation to the 6 miles of pristine coastline and beaches of Playa Zancudo. You may want to stay and explore inshore in the expansive and tranquel lands of Piedras Blancas National Park, or the 1300 hectare Golfito National Wildlife Refuge, both of which are biologically connected to Corcovado National Park, renowned for the diversity of species that occupy these preserve lands. An easy drive north to the many beaches and parks lining the Costanera (Pacific Coast) Highway including Playa Tortuga, Playa Ventanas, Playa Pinuela, Playa Ballena, Playa Uvita, Playa Hermosa, Playa Dominicalito, Playa Dominical, Marino Ballena National Park, home of the famous “Whales Tail” rock formation and coral reefs, and Rancho La Merced National Wildlife Refuge on the coast.

The park stretches from the southern end of Playa Hermosa to the northern end of Playa Piñuela and about 9 miles (15 km) seaward. Great access to the 30,000+ hectare Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands, which protect the extensive river mouth delta systems, estuaries, and wetlands between the Terraba River and the Sierpe River. Terraba Sierpe has one of the largest protected Mangrove reserves in the world and an enormous, intricate conglomerate of river deltas, estuaries, and wetlands that wind between the rivers and up to Boca Sierpe (mouth of the river), where the river meets the ocean. The mangroves, like an estuary, provide a unique, protective ecosystem that supports an exceptional and diverse amount of life, particularly waterfowl and fish. Boca Sierpe leads to the shorelines of Isla Violines Island, Drake Bay, and Isla Cano Island. Drake Bay sees a yearly migration of whales that come to calve and feed their young, and is home to a multitude of dolphin. The town of Sierpe is in the lush and beautiful Valle De Diquis (Diquis Valley). The valley is well known for its giant hand carved spheres of stone and other archaeological relics from pre-columbian times. This is a very solid Costa Rican real estate investment opportunity.
