About Cahuita
Cahuita is a small, easygoing village next to Cahuita National Park, where a white-sand beach lined with coconut palms wraps around one of Costa Rica's few living coral reefs. It's slower, quieter, and more local than nearby Puerto Viejo.
When to go
September and October are surprisingly sunny on the Caribbean side. Warm beach weather is possible year-round.
