Islita Beach Costa Rica<\/strong>: is a grayish sandy beach and blue sparkling sea, surrounded by modest vegetation and divided by two streams. Moderate waves on a beach make it conducive for swimming and diving.<\/p>\n

Islita beach, or Punta Islita is within a spawning area, so Leatherback and Hawksbill turtles nest here sometimes, especially during the month of October.<\/p>\n

Near the beach there is a rocky island that completes the beautiful landscape of the area, and which takes its name from this beach.<\/p>\n

The terrain is composed of deep river canyons, steep cliffs and hills of volcanic origin that are about 80 million years old. The pounding waves lapping the shoreline has formed abraded cliffs and platforms where at low tide there are tidal pools and exposed rocks that serve as temporary shelter for some brightly coloured fish, sea urchins, nerites, chitons, choras and caricacos, among others.<\/p>\n

The city surrounding Islita beach is known as a “lively artistic community” with a beautiful local art museum and a lovely white church, which is a credit to the plaza. Also, Islita offers hotels and cabins to suit all tastes.<\/p>\n
