Quepos: Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort
Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort sits on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast in Puntarenas Province, where rainforest-covered headlands meet the Pacific Ocean. The resort occupies part of the Manuel Antonio coast south of Quepos, where small coves and offshore rocks break up the shoreline. This stretch of the Pacific lowlands is defined by tropical forest reaching almost to the beaches rather than by a continuous urban waterfront. Nearby Manuel Antonio National Park, created in 1972, protects coastal forest and marine habitats and is a defining public landscape of this part of Costa Rica. Quepos serves as the local town and marina port for the surrounding coast.

Quepos is recognised across Costa Rica for its close connection to Manuel Antonio National Park. On the country’s central Pacific coast, it provides access to a protected shoreline where tropical forest reaches the Pacific Ocean, with beaches and rocky headlands along the park’s trails. Quepos developed around the banana trade, and its working-port past remains part of the town’s identity. Marina Pez Vela also reflects the importance of sport fishing, while restaurants and shops keep the centre active beyond the park.

Within Costa Rica’s regions, Puntarenas Province is distinguished by its vast Pacific territory, reaching from the Gulf of Nicoya to the country’s southern coast and out to Cocos Island. It is Costa Rica’s largest province, encompassing drier northwestern shores, mangrove-lined estuaries, and wetter mountains and forests farther south. The Gulf of Nicoya shapes the provincial capital, Puntarenas, a historic port city whose waterfront remains central to local life. Ferries link the city with the Nicoya Peninsula, while its Churchill shaved-ice dessert is a local classic. Far offshore, Cocos Island National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site recognised for its marine ecosystems. Place Puntarenas Province in its wider Costa Rican setting by browsing webcams nearby.

Volcanic mountain ranges, Pacific shores and the Caribbean coast define much of Costa Rica — they support agriculture, tourism and an exceptional variety of ecosystems. Rainforest, cloud forest and dry tropical forest lie within a relatively compact country, while protected areas cover roughly a quarter of its territory. Arenal Volcano is among its best-known natural landmarks, and the Monteverde region is noted for its cloud forest. San José’s National Theatre, opened in 1897, reflects the wealth created by the historic coffee trade.
