Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast is a tropical playground, year-round. Its evergreen forests and sandy beaches provide a unique setting. The Central Pacific region is a distinct geographical region, a thin, virtually ruler-straight coastal plain narrowing to the southeast and backed by steep sided mountains. The coastal is lined by long gray-sand beaches. The region is a transition zone between the tropical dry forest of the north pacific and the wet forests of the nearby south pacific coast. Despite the fact that the region's protected areas are among the smallest in the country, they are vibrant habitats alive with an amazing variety of flora and fauna. These pristine green zones provide sanctuary for many endangered species.
