Hotels in Las Baulas National Marine Park, Costa Rica

Las Baulas National Marine Park is a protected area on Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast, famous for the world's largest leatherback sea turtle nesting grounds. The tropical climate is warm year-round, with average highs of 90°F (32°C) during the dry season from December to April, when you can watch turtles lay eggs on Playa Grande under moonlight, and the rainy season from May to November brings cooler 82°F (28°C) days perfect for kayaking through the mangrove estuaries. For the best turtle-watching, visit between October and March when nesting peaks, but note that permits limit nightly visitors, so book ahead.
