Costa Rica’s rich and tropical Southern Zone hosts numerous area beaches and points of interest to explore while visiting the region. Surfing is popular at breaks such as Pavones ( Rio Claro ), Sawmills, Pilon, Zancudo, Punta Banco and Cabo Matapalo. The port areas of Puerto Jimenez and Golfito are good places to find charter boats to take you offshore fishing.
