Hungry for off-the-beaten-path locations in touristy and developed Costa Rica, we discovered the untouched coastline of Uvita. Covered by palm trees, providing welcoming shade and refreshing coconut water to surfers enjoying these ideal breaks, this is surf paradise. Just a few backpackers, hospedajes and campsites are set along its unspoiled beach where plenty of birds can be spotted in the early morning and stunning sunsets can be enjoyed.
