User reviews

"This beach in Costa Rica is considered the best (not just in Costa Rica, but in the entire world!). The area known as Arrecife is particularly enjoyable. There aren't many restaurants around, so many visitors prefer to bring their own food. The views and palm trees are absolutely stunning, especially when the sun is shining."

Larson

"Punta Uva is definitely the beach I love the most in Limon. It has three entrances, so I recommend trying the one near Rest. Selvin and also the one at Arrecife. There aren't many options for dining and drinking nearby, so it's a good idea to bring lots of water and snacks. And please remember to take your garbage back with you. Oh, and there's a rock you can climb that offe..."
