Drake Bay
Drake Bay is located in the northern region of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Formerly one of the most remote settlements in the country, it’s growing popularity has meant increased access for tourists, and gradual development has brought increased amenities.

Quite literally a tropical paradise, the region boasts miles of pristine beaches, spectacular lagoons and coves ideal for scuba diving, as well as leafy palms that fringe the coastline, making Drake Bay an ideal place for those looking to enjoy a quieter vacation in Costa Rica.
