Tortuga Island
When thinking about what to visit in Costa Rica, you shouldn't overlook the idyllic island of Tortuga, which is a pilgrimage destination for tourists from all over the world. Of all the peninsulas and islands in Costa Rica, this one is the most desirable. However, there are no hotels and tents are not allowed.
What draws tourists there? The azure ocean and silky sand beach are the main advantages of the island. In fact, Tortuga consists of two islands: Alcatraz and Tolinga, but the local population stuck to the name Turtle Island. The water here is not just clear, it has the color of sapphire.
On the island, you can endlessly enjoy the sun and sand or book a variety of excursions. One of the favorite activities for tourists is a trip on a boat with a glass bottom, which gives a happy opportunity to admire the beauty of the underwater world.
There are plenty of places to eat here. Inexpensive and not crowded cafes are part of the tourist infrastructure. Tired of the sun, you can rest in a coconut grove in the benign shade. The island is rocky, so it served as a shelter for buccaneer hunters in the 17th century.
