Top Caribbean Beaches in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Costa Ricans will all agree that the Caribbean side of the country has a culture of its own. Coconut in every form is a main ingredient in local cuisine. Besides the dominant Spanish language, the dialect used by many is patois -a.k.a. Patuâ- a Creole English with a strong Caribbean twist. Reggae music is played all day, and all around, people's energy seems to be in sync with the rhythm of the peaceful waves gently kissing the golden shore. While most travelers tend to visit the Pacific side of Costa Rica for its larger array of lodging options, the South Caribbean of Costa Rica attracts people who search for a laid-back atmosphere and crowd-free beaches.
