Hotels in Las Baulas National Marine Park, Costa Rica

Las Baulas National Marine Park sits on Costa Rica's Pacific coast near Tamarindo and is famous as a primary nesting site for leatherback sea turtles. The tropical climate stays around 80°F (27°C) year-round, with dry winters from November to April perfect for nighttime turtle-watching tours on Playa Grande, while rainy summers offer quieter conditions for kayaking through the mangrove estuaries. During the dry season, you can also surf consistent waves at Playa Grande, but plan your visit between October and March to see the turtles nesting.
