Costa Rica’s southernmost port town of Golfito is often referred to as the last frontier, and its only city situated within a declared protection area. In a remote and secluded region of the country, it’s an escape from the hustle and bustle of the more popular tourist-filled destinations. Surfers know Golfito as the gateway to the surfer’s paradise of Pavones and fishermen assemble in this sport-fishing mecca year-round. It’s easy to get lost in the natural beauty of the forested hills and endless solitary beaches. Board a catamaran for an afternoon of watching for dolphins or for a more laidback experience, head to Punta Banco, a vacant and isolated beach town for some sun, sand and tranquility.
