Fishing

Costa Rica offers Pacific and Caribbean sportfishing within a few hours’ drive of each other, which is unusual and worth planning around. These articles cover the species travelers come for, including sailfish and marlin offshore, roosterfish along the rocky Pacific shoreline, and tarpon and snook on the Caribbean side, with the seasons that actually matter, the ports to base from and what a charter costs. The history is here too: how commercial and sport fishing shaped the coasts, and where the regulations stand now.
