A laid-back Afro-Caribbean beach town on Costa Rica's south Caribbean coast, known for reggae bars, rice-and-beans cooking, and the powerful Salsa Brava reef wave. Bicycles are the main transport along the coast road to Punta Uva and Manzanillo. Sloth sanctuaries and the nearby Jaguar Rescue Center make it popular with families too.
