Gulfo Dulce Map

Pavones Beach is synonymous with SURF!!!  Best known among surfers as the place with the “longest left break,” Pavones  is a semi-open bay featuring great waves all year long.  It’s out of the way location – almost 2 hours from Golfito- make it a hide-a-way for the dedicated.  But surf isn’t all this little town has to offer.  It’s located in the middle of some of the most exuberant rain forest in the country and inhabited by fun, friendly people.  Many large and beautiful pieces of virgin land, fantastic old farms and smaller lots split from the original farms offer wonderful places to construct your dream home or tourist retreat.  Water front, hillsides with views or jungle reserves.  A variety of dream projects from surf bungalows to luxury homes are popping up each new season.

ZANCUDO beach offers a personality all it's own with "Laid Back" being key words to describe this charming community.  It’s fine gray sands, abundance of green foliage and gentle blue waves make it one of the countries most colorful and quaint beach playgrounds. With an estuary behind feeding into both a river and the sea, it offers residents and tourists a variety of fun including sport fishing, kayaking, river cruises, beachcombing and surfing.  Charming restaurants, bars and lodging are sprinkled down the beach road and many  ex-patriots have made their “home away from home” here amongst the like minded. The road in has enabled municipal services of electricity and water to serve the area, but most residents find it more convenient to come and go to nearby Golfito via taxi boat or their personal launch. 

LOCATION:  

Known to locals as the "Finca Saladero", this property can be located on the shore of the Golfo Dulce amongst some of Costa Rica's most talked about adventure destinations.

Nearby communities to the "Finca Saladero" offer daily flights, regular bus routes, wonderful day adventures and guest activities.

Golfito
A Bay With-in a Bay, you will find no finer yacht anchorage in the tropics than Golfito.  Homes of boat enthusiasts and marina development plans are catching on like wildfire on the shores of this area.  Set against an awesome backdrop of lush green jungle with natural clearings and plateaus along the shore, ideas for low impact development are limitless.  Calm waters with good anchor holding and pier sites plus the convenience of town just minutes away across the bay make this waterfront zone very desirable - Both commercially and for private homes. The jungles behind are full of birds, animals, tropical fruits, trails and an abundance of pre-Columbian history as this bay was home to one of Costa Rica's Indigenous fishing communities. Self generated power and natural water supplies must fill the needs of these properties as they are beyond the reach of town-folks public services. 

Puerto Jimenez
Acting as “the gateway to Corcovado National Park”, visitors from every part of the world have gone through Puerto Jimenez and some of them have decided to stay.  This is a multi-cultural town with a true western frontier flavor – the product of a long history of hearty adventurers settling in these parts for gold mining, cattle ranching and trophy hunting in the remote jungles and coming in to town outposts infrequently to cash in a claim, pick up fresh horses and stock up on more provisions. With the prohibition of mining and hunting a new focus on the natural treasures and famous biodiversity has given the town center a new life. Hidden down the outlaying roads are world class beaches and properties from Playa Blanca to the north, Matapalo to the south and Carate on the east….. with surf, waterfalls, jungle trails, awesome animal abundance,  and most importantly, a community of people dedicated to the possibilities of tomorrow with conservation today.  This area is honestly, one of a kind for a private home, eco-tourism project or for an investment in conservation.

The quaint "Banana Town" of Golfito, historical headquarters of the United Fruit Company, is currently undergoing a transformation on its Waterfront.  Located just north of Panama on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, it's surrounded by lush, tropical reserve property and pristine jungle.  Golfito offers an incredible deep, protected natural harbor that yachties, sport fisherman, small commercial fleets,  and water sports enthusiasts are beginning to discover. Interest is escalating. Projects underway include marina development, commercial and sport fishing enterprises, marine services, luxury cruise line stopovers and large scale use of the commercial pier by freighters for exportation.  It is the opinion of many that encounter the beautiful Golfito Bay, that "No port south of Acapulco equals Golfito and surrounding areas in the potential for Investment and Waterfront Development."
