Located along Costa Rica’s amazingly beautiful and exotic Caribbean Coast, Cahuita is a relaxing paradise some 43 km south of Puerto Limon. A stunning black sand beach town with warm calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, Cahuita sits just south of the popular Cahuita National Park. Among the most visited national parks in Costa Rica, the Parque Nacional Cahuita offers tourists not just great beaches, but a lush coastal rainforest and some fabulous coral reef to explore and discover.

A great vacation getaway where you can relax, Cahuita’s popularity is rapidly increasing, as its neighboring town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is fast becoming Costa Rica’s top party destination. With a number of hotels, local sodas and restaurants and places to eat in town, Cahuita has plenty to offer in the way of spending some quiet tranquil time alone or with a loved one.

Cahuita's beaches are picture perfect with trails leading into a coastal forest nearby. Within walking distance of town, these beaches are an excellent place to unwind. For those who want to explore nearby sites, a well maintained butterfly garden is located nearby. The Mariposario de Cahuites is a great place to relax amid brightly colored gorgeous butterflies. Detailed tours are offered in a variety of languages.

For those who are interested in just spending their time at the beach, there is plenty to do in Cahuita. Snorkeling is at its best during the months of March to May and September to December. With a number of dive rental shops in this Caribbean area, you will have no problems exploring the spectacular underwater coral reef. A great place to go swimming is Playa Negra, which sits on the northwest end of Cahuita. If you prefer getting on the water, you can go sportsfishing off the coast and catch a wide array of fish.
