South of Jaco on the Pacific lies a 70 mile stretch of remote coastline that includes the towns of Esterillos, Parrita, and Palo Seco. The beautiful beaches range from a rich golden color to a light warm chocolate. Esterillos provides year-round surfing, while Parrita, a small, farming community surrounded by several rivers, offers sightseeing tours down the Damas Estuary where an abundance of wildlife thrives within protective mangroves. Whitewater rafting the Parrita River is also available. From Palo Seco, found at the Parris River estuary surrounded by shrimp farms, you can go sport fishing out to Damas Island to reel in such fish as Marlin, Sailfish or Snook. Throughout the area, 3 to 4 star hotels and resorts can be found with direct beach access, spa services, and umbrella drinks! A well-kept secret, you won't find a lot of tourists here, just gentle breezes, amazing sunsets and local adventure activities.
