Punta Uva Costa Rica

The beaches in this area are very safe for swimming since the coral reefs prevents the ocean waves from reaching the shore. Some of the best snorkeling occurs just off the point. The actual point is a rocky promontory that extends out over the Caribbean sea. The rock is covered with lush jungle and a trail leads to a great lookout point on the top.

The Punta Uva butterfly garden is one of the greatest attractions of the area. Here you can see a wide variety of tropical butterfly species. The garden is set back from the road on the opposite side from the beach. You access it from a dirt road that leads up into the hills. The garden itself is located within some of the nicest rainforest in the area. It is also a great place for nature hikes and a place to spot some of the local wildlife.

Because of Punta Uva's nice beaches and relaxed small town feel it is a place that is well worth your visit. There are numerous reasons why it is once of the locals favorite places to hangout and a reason why it is popular with visitors from all over the place.
